Since nobody has said any thing about us elder people. I tend to think if we had to go back to open sights only seasons, many older hunters would give it up. I wouldbecauseI do not feel comfortable at making a clean killing shot on a deer at even 25 yards with open sights. Even glasses can not fix our older eye sight enough to shoot with comfadence.
I'll use what ever ML falls with in the laws of my state where I can mount a scope or peep sight on my rifle.
I agree since I am 67 and my right eye has a blind spot right on the focal point. I can use a scope as the crosshairs help me to find the center but with standard iron sights the front sight is a blur. I have tried peep sights and they make it almost possible to shoot with confidence but the scope really makes my shots solid. Lucky for me Arizona allows scopes. I still limit my shots to about 100 yards. Personally I don't shoot farther than that enough to be sure of a kill so I don't do it. I know the Omega would likely do a good job at close to 200 yards but the kill zone at that range is getting pretty small.
