[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2388864, member: 83259"] I personally don’t see the point of iron sights as a backup. The expense of having them installed on a rifle that didn’t come with them, plus the time of zeroing them after having to remove the scope after load development etc and then hoping you can even see them over a rail. Buy a scope with a good track record, mount it properly in quality rings with a quality base. You could buy a cheaper scope and throw it in a set of rings for probably less then the irons are gonna cost you and have it in the truck for a backup. Hike out, throw it on, zero it and get back at it. [/QUOTE]
