For older eyes scopes are a big help. Myself, i cannot focus on the front sight so very good, and am very thankful i have a peep at the rear, because focusing on a rear sight isn't possible.

Actually, it seems to me, no matter how young or old one's eyes are, target acquisition would be faster with a 1X scope than with any iron sight possible combination. Two inch groups with iron sights certainly is mighty fine shooting, and is indeed 'good enough'.
