idea - Help

I have a .308 rifle screw cut and hope to go for boar in the future, I think my 'scope is too big for driven boar (8x56) so I have had the idea of removing the scope and moderator (probably not permitted anyway) and mounting a front sight on the screw cover - anyone ever seen this done and would it be possible and if so anyone got any ideas who to approach?
 
I reckon a good reliable gunsmith near you, or even a good machinist could sort you a solution, a good fitting screw protector, with an iron sight element silver soldered in place, & a small grub screw to secure in place?
 
Why not switch to a low magnification scope? I put a 2.5X on my 45-70 bolt gun for hunting in heavy timber. Faster than iron sights, and far more precise.~Muir
