Scopes get in the way for long shots in AK? I"m just stirring the pot. LOL.
IIRC scopes in action style shooting events have proven as fast, if not faster than irons. And in low light conditions scopes win every time...
Well, I was being a bit facetious, and I wasn't offering that quip as the gist of my quote, just a lower cased note...
But in the few animals I've shot here... 2 black bears, 1 moose, and one caribou (not including small game)... The only time I used a scope was with the moose at 7 power to better count brow tines, then shoot at 80 yards or so. The blackies were less than 70 yards away and were shot with peep sights (Marlin 1895); As was the caribou that was roughly 150 yards away with an AR with stock A2 sights (don't hate, I was new, it was all I had, and it was a clean one shot kill)
Again, not trying to make this a scope thing, just a minor point following the OP's question.
