Best ML for open sights
Hi, new to the forum. Asked this question on some other boards but figured I'd cover my bases. I'll be getting my first ML this off-season to use the coming fall. I am leaning towards using open sights at least for the first season (I will be hunting in the hills with heavy woods) and am curious which of the Knights and T/Cs perform particularly well with open sights. Not too concerned with the stock sights since I will likely put on an after market peep or ghost ring.
My two main concerns are;
(1) blowback - As I said, I will get either a Williams peep or a ghost ring and mounting it as far back (close to the breach) as possible. I am a little worried about getting my eye right up to the ring when sighting in and getting a bunch of hot powder/flash lodged in my retina from the blowback.
(2) whether the stock lets you get your head low enough to use open sights. I understand that some rifles are just better suited for scopes and don't comfortably allow you to get a good cheek weld on the stock.
I definately plan on trying out as many MLs as possible before I decide, but since I have to do a bit of travel to find the Knights and T/Cs (and maybe Savage), I would like to have as much heads-up as possible.
Thanks in advance.
