For my personal tastes, I find merits in all of the options listed above. My ideal milsurp bubba job would take the rifle and sights of an 03-A3, the trigger of the K31, and the 6.5x55 round from the Swedish mauser.

I like the Garand sights a LOT better than the 03-A3 sights, though. But I like that cracker-jack 03-A3 sight better than open notches, which is your point.
I have thought of trying mojo sights on my Swede. Or more likely on one of my Switzers.
The Krag rifles won a lot of matches back in the day. An m1917 or a P14 with a good fitting stock works well enough too if you can get to one that hasn't been to bubba's basement. Thats a high bar to set, to nail a one fits all rifle because so many surplus rifles will shoot well if fitted correctly and fed good ammo.
