yeah I realize a few people like sights, some people still like black powder cartridges too, doesnt make them practical. Scopes set on low power, 1-3X ,are not any harder, than open sights to get on target with. get one of your rifles with a scope set on 3X, and another with sights, stand about 10 feet from a small object and try to get a bead on em. IME the scope is actually quicker because you dont have to line up the front and back sights.
