Look to the Pukka Sahib 'small-bore' African rifles ......
long bbls were quite normal in the'magazine rifle' Victorian era/ There's quite a few examples of the corresponding Classic stock styles. choose yjr frop and lop -- fit like a fast=mounting shotgun with the eye lining up naturally along the sights. Sights are all over the palce in style, from a classic folding bbl-vernier with with a big notch when folded, too three leaf arrangements, or even a variety of early peep. Same with front. Hooded, beaded, folding blades of different heights....etc IRRC there are some books on the suvject of the sights. Try the classic rifle sub-forum over on Double gun shop.com Happy Hunting
