Here is a picture of a detachable receiver sight I made for my Ruger #1. That's not my gun but the picture posted by the guy over on 24 hourcampfire.com, single shots, forum where I got the idea.
It starts with a Burris Ruger to Weaver adapter, and a XS low Weaver back up sight. It took a bit of work with a hacksaw, grinder, and files, plus drilling and tapping for a couple of tiny 4-40 countersunk hex head machine screws to put together. Most of the Burris adapter is gone as it has two Weaver slots fore and aft of the Ruger clamping point.
I have picked up another set of adapters and a couple of sights to make two more, for the #1's that have open sights.
My eyes are bad enough now that I have some trouble using a leaf rear but a peep is fine. Currently on the three that have open sights, I have the little 2.5X Leupold scout scope mounted. I like it on the .375 H&H and .458 Win for the very generous eye relief,but like the irons better so will go this route.
