One thought, SDM makes a .300" tall pinned gold bead front sight. If you also changed your rear blade to a .146" tall, which also has a deeper notch than the factory's .114" [.080" -vs- .060"], all you'd need is to go down a few clicks on the rear sight's adjustment to get your zero back.

You'd end up with a better sight picture with the tall front sight & bigger rear notch, which is one reason I really like shooting my 5" 686+.

.
SDM is my fallback option. I'm replacing the rear sign with a Bowen first, so I will have some flexibility for sight height. Thanks!
