Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Open sights on client DGR rifle- cosmetic or necessity?

I have the white, hooded NECG on my new .458 and am going to install a ghost ring at the rear.

I have removed a 1.5 Leupy on my Mod 70 on a follow up, but I cut my teeth on irons and practiced extensively with the .375's irons at 25 yds before I went on the hunt. I am certain that I will be quicker up close with irons, because I have field loss due to no vision in my right eye and the scope blocks a lot of the remaining field, even though it's a skinny Leupold 1.5-5. Irons up close for me, no doubt.
