[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1603400, member: 91402"] Iron sights were all anyone used where I grew up. Whitetails in hardwood forests were the main targets and they were most likely moving when you spotted them. As well, many of the hunters were former military and learned to prefer peep sights and shot them very efficiently. The few "rich" guys who bought scopes were looked down upon and teased for their purchases. I never owned a scope until I moved west and discovered big, open country. I still keep iron sight on a few rifles. Lever guns with fibre optic front sights and skinner peeps are hard to beat for speed and stopping power when hiking in the off season. I even keep a couple classic bolt guns, a model 54 Win in '06 and a Husky 9.3 x 62, with Lyman peeps on them I use for spring bear hunting. It makes it more fun. It really feels like hunting when you have one of them in your hands. [/QUOTE]
