It’s very obvious that your gun has an aftermarket barrel. While the profile is likely very similar, and possibly identical, to the factory barrel, it is not a given that the factory sights that would have been intended for whatever year your particular rifle was made will work with the current barrel. In other words, all of the item numbers in the world are not gonna save you some proper gunsmithing.
One of the knowledgeable people who tried to help you before you pissed everyone off would have probably shared this nugget with you had you not been a thin skinned ass hat.
After reading this and your ill advised attempt to build a 416 on a Savage, I’d say you are simply out of your depth. You’re not playing in the sandbox that’s most appropriate for you. If you want to piss up a rope while marveling at your own brilliance go play on one of the many tactical forums.
And while I do run my mouth, go off half cocked, and constantly provide low intelligence commentary, I feel confident that none of these things mean whatever it is you think they mean. Your comments are the Internet forum equivalent of the shirtless drunk on Cops trying to use lawyer speak.

Yeah youre just spewing diarrhea out your mouth.
You show very little understanding of the relation between the barrel contour and the style of sight used, and youre another lame captain obvious due to your inablity to do your responsibility of actually reading a person's first entry to their post, or its a matter of your sad inablity to have paid attention while reading it.

Well, yeah of coarse its VERY obvious that my gun has an aftermarket barrel ESPECIALLY since I said right at the very start of this post in
BOLD capital letters in its own separated paragraph

NOTE:
Right, the barrel is not original to the gun.
The barrel is stamped with "APEX MATCH GRADE"
This would have replaced the original Remington barrel upon the gun being converted to the .375 H&H Mag.

I'm not new to doing skilled work on guns, I never said or implied I wouldn't need to do any type of gunsmithing, and it's mentioned in a few places in my 416 Rem Mag post that you viewed, whereby my dad has been a machinist for nearly 50 years. Nearly 50 years and still working at a factory where they produce titanium for companies such as Boeing, and so its obviously not uncommon for us to drill and tap holes for scope mounts and sights.
In the event I would have to machine a dovetail for a particular sight, that also wouldn't be out of the possibilities by any means.
Now when it comes to the situation of you expressing there is the possibility for the original sights not going to provide proper use on a replacement barrel even when that barrel is identical,

I could only laugh at how big your brain fart had to of been when you brewed that one up lol.
Of the two different sights I found so far, that was used on the 721, they're the common flexible open sights
(one of these sights was mounted whereby fitting into a dovetail that's machined into the barrel, and the other sight has a base mount whereby is first attached to the barrel)
but anyways, when the contour of the original barrels are identical to the contour of the replacement barrel, these factory sights will OBVIOUSLY work fine, ya eager doofus,
and these flexible sights will almost certainly work fine whereby having plenty adjustment to even accommodate in the situation if there being small differences from one barrel to another.
Remington even made a couple different sized stepped bridges used to elevate the open sight whereby one provides higher lift than the other.
When either one of those stepped bridges should somehow be inefficient, its not difficult to buy an aftermarket stepped bridge that would be adequate for the application and by doing so it wouldn't even hurt any originality of its appearance
And it was seriously deranged of you to make the claim that I'm out of my depth as well as the other lame jargon you contrived.
Listen up, Nimrod
I built a Savage 416 Rem Mag from the ground up with no personal experience with Savage actions and therefore for me was an interesting and fun challenge, but the many idiots that troll here and who didnt have any personal experience with Savage 110 LA bolts was merely repeating what they heard through rumors whereby saying the equivalent of Savage being junk or otherwise ridiculous for anyone to be using for their gun build.
This Savage 416 Rem Mag turned out QUITE NICE even though small adjustments are still in progress to the magazine's feed lips to help when there's more than one cartridge in the magazine,
AND I did this custom build for approximately 800.00 less than the average cost of the common 416 Rem Mag rifles being sold
With all that combined, youre just exposing how you shoved your head up your rear end while attempting to act like youre anything more than that hipster doofus which you expose so well
