Adding front sight to Howa Mini-action???

Recently I bought a piece of property that is very wooded. I quickly found out how useless my favorite carry rifle is with a scope in the woods. I really like my Howa 223 Mini-action. It's light, reliable and accurate. Unfortunately it doesn't come with any sights.

I'm a fan of peep sights and Williams makes a simple peep sight that would fit. I'm looking for a simple clamp on front sight or one I could JB weld on the end of the barrel.

I've scanned the internet and found nothing suitable for this #1 barrel. Can anyone help me get a front sight for this thing?

Thanks
Ron
 
Is the rifle useless because of magnification or bulk and getting hung up on limbs?

If the issue is magnification making it hard to see,I might suggest a red/green dot large diameter tube sight or a 1 power scope.

If the issue is bulk then maybe a reflex sight.
Mounting and aligning a front sight is not a good first smithing project.
 
Front sights should be screwed or soldered on.
I don't like Williams b/c it's aluminium and I found that aluminium walks.
Consider a red dot.
