A good number of years ago I purchased the same rifle, but in 270 as the 405 was years to come. I had mine bored and rifled by the Late Richard Nickel to a 35 Whelen. I had installed, yes you will need to drill and tap, a Lyman 66 peep. I also installed a Marbles shorty ramp front so I could install a front sight that would work the best and I'd be able install at different heights. Currently shooting a cast 300 gr hollowpoint.
A sight that wasn't available to me at the time was the old Lyman, Pattern 21 rear. If I was to do it all over again that would be what I would have used.
