Well to be period correct for rifles of this style , it would have a series of flip up sights on the quarter rib , each for a different yardage .
But in a design compromise for the modern buying public , they went with one leaf , and Weaver slots on the rest .
For a good tang sight , either NOS Lyman , or do a search for Montana Vintage Arms with their excellent reproductions .
Not of you like single shot rifles
Henry also makes single shots.

The modern Japan mfg B78 and '85 are generally considered to be in same catagory as Ruger No 1 aka much stronger than Marlin . How the Italian mfg action compares to the Japanese . I don't know .
The Original Stalking Rifles used a variety of medium- ish bore " Flanged " cartridges , flat-ish shooting for the day . ie maximizing the aiming potential of multi leaf Express Sights .
For the mass produced Uberti rifle , they went with still common ctgs to increase sales appeal . You're not going to find .275 Flanged at the LGS . Do you want to take up the seperate hobby of loading obsolete cartridges , with either reformed brass , or hunting down intermittently available Bertram Brass from Australia ? It's a legitimate sub hobby . But of the two factory chamberings , .303 would be closer to the spirit of the original , and undoubtedly some were made back in the day , as it the .303 dates back to 1888 , and would have appealed to British Officer or Civil Servants going on extended assignment to Africa or India .

Presuming that's straight scoop , that would be equivalent to Ruger '95 and Nickle Steel Winchester 1886 .
Of course in such a rifle , how hot you care to load is probably more of a limiting factor than what the rifle could handle .
