10/22 iron sights on a scope rail?

Is it possible to (on a 10/22) have a scope rail with iron sights? I want to have iron sights on my 10/22, but have a scope rail for when I want to quickly attach a scope, and if I want to go back to iron sights I could remove the scope and just use the sights. So is there some way to have some sort of iron sight permanently attached to the back of the scope rail and have a scope on the front? Then I could just take the scope off if I wanted to? Or maybe some sort of iron sights that attach and detach to a scope rail?

Thank you.

    The factory rear sight will flip down from what I recall. It will be a pain re-zeroing each time you mount the scope. It will not be pointing in the same direction unless you get some $100+ quick detach mounts. I would check out a see through sight. It does raise the scope up higher, though.

    Click on my avatar...it's an ISSC 22lr. Has flip up / down sights mounted on the rail and a scope. Whenever you put on or take off a scope, though...it can play havoc with your zero. This scope features a quick detach lever as well...AimSport 2.5-7x40.

    just buy a low profile picitiny rail for the top, they sit low enough that you can see the factory iron sights, they are like $15 or $20 for that rail, just make sure you get the low profile one. i have the standard profile one on mine and i can barely see the iron sights but i can use them still.
