robinhedd,
At 72YO, I don't see open/peep sights well at all & have all my longarms except the shotguns scoped.
My LA Marlin 336T in .35REM wears an "old-school" 2.5X REDFIELD in REDFIELD low mounts & I cannot see the front sight through the scope. - WORKS FINE for me in the brush. Your mileage may however vary.
TRY it & see for yourself is my advice.
yours, tex
