You're not stuck with crappy old iron sights...
I wish I had back the 400 rounds of M1-Garand ammo I burned up early this spring!
The way things look I may be using my lever action 44-40 rifle if things get hot. Now, at my age I need a new pair of eyes to aim it.
Get an optic mounting solution and a modern optic to resolve that.

I put an antique Weaver 4X scope on a new Ruger PC-9.
I am in the same boat. I can’t focus on the rear sight.
Check out a Standard BP-12. Highly corrected vision is not necessary to send up to 16 12 gauge “00”s down range. It might be hard to find at this time but a friend of mine purchased one last week. Very impressive pump action shotgun.
BTW, Standard is a brand name.
