I tried them. IMO, not worth trying out. again, IMO, the HI-Viz sights are not robust enough either in design or attachment for any caliber worthy of a BFR. (the fiber optics snap in and are tapered - even the light weight of a single piece of fiber optic can cause it to wedge itself into a sight at .454 recoil velocities)
Spend the money up front to put a weigand front sight base on it and have it professionally silver soldered on, then you can try out any S&W DX style blade @ any height you want. SDM makes fiber optic & gold dot blades for that arrangement.
A great option to have one front sight blade for the monster big bullet loads and another for the light stuff.
I put the weigand base on two BFR's. While I normally think the wiegand base is a little bulky, it's a perfect fit with the chunkier BFR topstrap.
