i have hunted maine where you cut tracks in the snow and track the deer so this set up is nice to have if they pop up close. so i have hunted using this set up but havent had the chance to squeeze the trigger yet. some guns i feel are designed better for see throughs. i hear so many negative things about the see throughs that i just wanted to throw some logical uses for it.i would never use see throughs on a bolt action but pumps and levers with the right cheek piece i wouldnt hesitate.
