    That front sight is hideous.

    The rear sight is positioned too far forwards to give a good sight-base. It's a scope-only gun really.

    I would get rid of them both, and if open sights are something you want, then get a lighter break-barrel and have that as your dedicated open sights gun. Swapping scope with opens on one rifle is a pain in the arse anyway.

    I agree, but I am not sure what to replace the front sight with as it's light and a nice balance and I don't want to spoil the feel, It's actually lighter than break barrels like the 80 and ofcourse the LGV.
    Also look how close the lever is to the barrel, I like the look but not easy to fit a ball catch so close to the barrel.
    The plastic unit is robust and light and as you can see in the OP easily modified to scope only and I don't have to go filling and drilling the barrel, the only thing is I don't like plastic bits

    No because the lever is closer to the barrel on the 460 and the length of the lever is different

    This is what it looks like under the sight unit
