Here's my $.02 and you can take it from there. The stock looks GREAT!! Haven't seen the barrel yet BUT, I wouldn't waste my time or $$ having the front or rear sights dipped. You may want to change one or the other down the road. Not to mention the fact that you will have to mount them afterward and from time to time, move them, whether by screwdriver or hammer and punch.
The rifle will look just fine with blued/black sights on top of a camo dipped stock and barrel. We all know sights are a "wear" item, they stick out and are subject to being bumped. That's why we always shoot our rifles prior to a hunt. What you do is your business Bud, but I wouldn't have the sights dipped for those reasons.
