Aperture sights on a Vudoo?

Will a beesting work with a tapered barrel contour? Or will you need a straight contour barrel?
I already have a Centra sight with a redfield style mount but it requires an 11mm dovetail. Are 11mm dovetails available?
Scott madesa makes a sight ext. for taper barrels. I use a Lipski sight base it attaches to the rail. And a PNW rear sight. http://www.medeshafirearms.com/Extension Tubes.htm
I have a Phoenix Precision rear sight for my Across the Course match rifle (Eliseo R5 build). Not sure if that company is still around, but it's a good sight. I have a Right Sight Front Sight, which I don't think is around anymore. You would need the muzzle end turned down to accommodate the clamp.
Or, instead of turning the end down, you can have a small adapter made to thread onto your barrel (if your barrel is already threaded). I have one of these adapters for my 5/8-24 threaded rifles so if I get the itch I can run my aperture sights. But these Warner/Phoenix/Right Sights units are all big bulky competition sights....if that matters to you.
Possibly, I need to validate it. It's likely to be tight toward the forward part of the forend.

I have thought about getting some aperture sights as well. I was planning on mounting the front sight on a screw on piece. Maybe a screw on piece followed by a piece that clamps onto that to take care of the rotational timing. I hope that makes sense to y'all. You could easily make it in such a way as to retain the ability to use your silencer. If MB needs some reason to design something,
I will sign up for a set of front and rear adapters. I have a nice set of sights on my Anschutz 54 already.

Lot of options out there. Dovetail the barrel like an Anschutz, drill and tap, use a bloop tube that can fit straight or tapered barrel profiles.
I was all excited to purchase a Vudoo, but I got screwed in the stock market after all this BS hit a couple weeks ago. I lost my ass big time.
Anyway, I guess waiting is OK. I'm waiting to see what the BR action and barrel looks like. I'm also interested in waiting for the faster rifling twist rate discussed in another thread.
I mostly shoot 3-position and an aperture sight only silhouette game at my local clubs, so I'm hoping I can get something together using the BR action and barrel that could be used for those. I also want to play around with some long range shooting. I'll have 500 yards available to experiment.
Maybe I'll hold onto the stimulus check for a Vudoo.
Stallings precision makes the right sight. Good stuff
This guy is on SH. I like the rear Pic rail attachment, so all I would need to work out would be the front.
I would go with a 1/2-28 adapter because I would end up putting the sights on many different rifles.
He noted that his front is low and the rear is so high because he has them set for a 400 yard zero.
