I've killed buffalo with scoped rifles and iron sighted doubles. I have no doubt that the scoped rifle makes life easier in placing the first shot. As for the arguement of tracking buffalo in the thick bush needing open sights, iIstill have found the scope rifle superior. There have been many times when tracking the old bachelor bulls in the bush that a scope is useful to peer ahead in the shadows at the dark lump that suddenly rises from his siesta and rambles off after spotting you.
