The last DG safari I used a Burris 1.5-6X with an illuminated (red dot in the middle) reticle. The red dot was most useful shooting a lion in the dark. The scope was mounted in Talley QD mounts "just in case," and usually set own low power. I did not have to use the iron sights. In the event of a real close shot, such as a charge, I probably would not have had to use the iron sights or scope at all.
