At 51 I can still use a peep sight with success. I just hate the aesthetics of a scope on a levergun, other than a BLR or Savage. I have bolt guns with scopes when I feel the need to really reach out there.
That said, use what you want and need to!!!
I agree with McCann, well said.
Yes, scopes on lever guns is a heresy!!
Oh yes, I have 5 or 6 heresys in the safe.
