halcon , the last time that i remember the hunter version having iron sights was back in the late 80' s and early 90' s buddy , so when i said that , it was more of a question if they still offered them. thanks for letting me know as i like the idea of iron sights as well as a back up if the scope takes a dump on you.
of course the iron' s don' t help for long shots or give the accuracy you can achieve with good handloads a chance ( if you handload )
