[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2833724, member: 9299"] My "personal" preference is to keep the sport what it was meant to be, primitive. I have never used a scope on any of my ML's, but if someone wished to and state regs allowed, I would not argue against them. Decades ago, we held ML matches at our club, and those targets ranged from 50-200yds. We learned rather quickly how effective a 50cal ML could be with a little practice, right bullet, and vernier sights. Some guys would replace their back barrel sights with something a little more adjustable and still do fairly well on the 200yd targets. Just for fun and to see what could be done, a friend and I played with the simple leaf adjustment on a couple of our rifles, and once we figured out elevation adjustments, we were consistently hitting gallon milk jugs at 200yds with hand cast TC Maxiballs. Remember, a lot of bison were killed at varying distances with ML's back in the day. [/QUOTE]
