Adding iron sights

I have been considering buying a Remington 700 SPS Tactical. It is very attractive price and I'm convinced it is a quality rifle. However, I want iron sights. I have two questions: (1) Is it even a reasonable idea to try to put iron sights on the 20" carbon steel barrel this rifle comes with? (2) If it is, how much should I expect a gunsmith to charge?

I know that I can pick up a Savage 10FCM that would do the same but I'd like to stick with the 700.
