I like the Weatherby XXII I picked up a while back.
The craftsmanship and the design is wonderful. The steel buttplate has a slight curvature to its center, and the wood of the buttstock is fitted to it. The style and appearance is classic and holds up even 50 years later. My gun is the magazine fed model but I haven't had any problems with function. It works. Like you, I think the sights are hard to see, but they're cool. They seem to be modeled after dangerous game flip up/down sights, just on a smaller scale. If the price is decent you should pick it up. Anyone can own a Ruger 10/22 or Marlin 60, but the Weatherby XXII is one that's set apart from the others.
