I am going to be brave here and disagree with Sharpsguy.If you can't see the target you can't hit it and when we age our eyeballs don't work right.How many people can hit an Elk in the vitals at 400 yards with open sights?Hell,the sights cover up alot of it...

I much prefer a scope over open sights especially shooting over 100 yards with any caliber.Unless you have zoom lenses in your eyeballs,your asking for a less than deadly first shot unless your of the elite in open sighted targeting which most of us are not.

Just an opinion..
