I'm going to need a lot more powder down the barrel before having a well founded opinion, but I really like the way my XS ghost carries.

But for just straight up shooting would have to say a scope would be better. But more practice will no doubt have an effect on this. I have already shrunk my groups in half after a bit of practice and switching to single vision glasses.

I guess it would have to be decided by how much ground you cover actually hunting, not just walking to your stand then sitting there waiting on a shot.

My rifle is a specialty tool so will probably leave it as good enough the way she sits, I can always reach for the scoped .338 if needing its abilities.

It is just a quick swap and a few placement shots to go scoped with the XS platform.
