You might make a few folks envious by stating that you have 800 pieces of brass. (Ha ha) They are not easy to find.
My 23B came with this aperture sight on it.
I saw the exact same sight as mine on eBay a month or two ago, but the fellow wanted $125 for it. I don't know if that is a fair price or not, but then - they aren't making them anymore. I suppose it would be a cheaper option than paying a gunsmith for a D/T job and then buying the scope and rings (assuming aperture sights are compatible with your vision).
I was looking for the screws that hold the aperture sight on. One of my screws was the proper one, and one not. I lucked out and found the proper screw last month. So if you find a sight, make sure it has the screws as the thread is not one easily found today.
The thread below is where I learned about the screw threads, and it discussed sight options for these rifles. It might be helpful to you.

And here is a graphic showing some of the Savage sights that I found somewhere in the past.
My 23C in 32-20 came with a front sight, a blank in the rear sight position and scope bases. I managed to find an original rear sight for it on eBay a few months ago. But I haven't installed the rear sight yet. Here are the scope bases on my rifle. The scope is a monstrosity on this little rifle. I just pulled it off an AR to check whether the rings were compatible with the scope bases.
Hope you find a sighting solution that works for you.
