But for some reason, updating the scope on a heirloom rifle doesn't bother me much. I cannot say why that is. How we feel about things is not always logical.
It might bother me more to change the sights entirely, as in go from iron sights to a scope.
That said, I took the Weaver side mount and Weaver K4 off my late father's M94 and shoot it with receiver sights now. Much of that has to do with how I feel about scopes on lever guns, especially lever guns with hammers. And that side mount was yet another thing . . .
Again, how we feel about things is not always logical, . . . although I do think some of my thinking about scopes/lever guns is pretty logical.
