I post this here as there have been several threads looking for an original or a replacement in the last few months.
Other than cosmetics, does the hood add function or advantage? I have removed the hood on every gun I have owned based on my having experienced the hood and front sight filling with snow and being a pain to clean out. This is from falling snow while still hunting, NOT being stuck in a snowbank, btw.
Just curious if there is some great advantage to the sight hood, other than originality, that is inapparent to me. Thanks
