IME the scope is actually quicker because you dont have to line up the front and back sights.
Glad your qualified to speak for so many. So if one is no harder than the other, why not use the sights? If I'm only shooting 10 yds, I'll use a handgun not a rifle. I guess some need the crosshairs past 10 feet.
Those "few" that do prefer and are capable of utilizing sights, should have it as a package so that when the gun is brought to the firing posisition, it's all aligned just as with a scope. No searching for crosshairs or aligning sights after bringing it to posisition, it's all there.
Have some rifles with scopes and many without yet I can still shoot them out to 100yds. Depending on the guns purpose, I'll decide which sighting device I'll have on the gun. Not going to limit myself and have all scopes nor would I have all with just sights. Same goes for guns I'll buy just for range use or even those I'll tuck away untouched.
