[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1603694, member: 69192"] My go-to rifle is a Remington 700ADL, with a Leupold VX III 2.5 X 8 scope and the original Remington factory sights that came with the rifle; at that time open sights were desirable on a rifle. This rifle has been in the family since 1969-70. Originally the scope was in Weaver detachable rings so it went on and off depending on the hunting terrain while deer hunting in Maine. If it was close woods shooting, then the scope came off, otherwise we hunted with the scope on. The scope also came off it was snowing or if we got caught out in the rain or snow. Today I don't go out of my way one way or the other as to sights, if they're on they're on if not it doesn't matter. For me today my eyes are not what they used to be, the scope is the best way for me to go. When hunting now I bring along an extra scoped rifle and oftentimes a scope that is sighted in for what I am using to hunt with; use Warne rings and bases. The last time I flew out on a hunt in Canada I was using a Ruger 77 with integral bases, brought along an extra scope that was already sighted in for the rifle due the weight constraints for flying in.
