I have two reasons to go back to an inline.

The peep sight didn't help my vision problems enough. By next year it will only get worse. I need a scope, and I refuse to put one on a sidelock. I've fought using a scope for years, and i'm given in.

The second reason is I thought I was done hunting bull elk, but I can't. I'll be hunting a different area with Jon next year, and the shots may be more open. I don't trust a PRB for hunting like that.

For closer still hunting timber I can still use a PRB on deer, but I find deer just fill the freezer. They are easy to hunt. Doesn't matter what gun I use. I'm sure after hunting with a scope. I won't want to hunt any other way. I'll just use the Optima for all hunting, and keep the PRB for BP shoots.

I won't give into old age. Except for my stinking eyesight. When I get to the point that I can't hunt with a scope. Just throw me in a hole, and cover me up.
