[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1089315, member: 90399"] I'm sure you probably already know this, but thought it might be worthy to mention to anyone else reading... The 783's do not come with any iron sights. Only some screw holes for a scope mount. For the cabin/truck gun use case, I'm a big fan of fixed 4 power scopes. Why you ask? 1 - A "truck gun" rifle usually means you want something you don't care about quite as much as a nice hunting or bench rifle. Fixed power scopes are [B]really [/B]durable compared to their adjustable power peers. Way less moving parts. Less chance of losing your zero. Hence, you don't have to be as nice to the rifle. 2 - How often are you going to shoot over 400 yards with your truck gun? The 4x will be fine... 3 - Price. You get a lot of scope for your money with fixed power. That's just my opinion. I use both adjustable power and fixed power scopes depending on the main use of the rifle. [/QUOTE]
