Im kinda surprised that more would'nt use a scope if they were allowed. I mean open sights are ok for some shots but would'nt one want to be as percise as possible when shooting at game.
I'd be lost now if I could'nt use a scope, the use of a scope has upped my game harvest and made me a better hunter.
Ever since we were allowed to use a scope for MLing Season it made me throw out the idea of ever uning a shotgun or rifle ever again. I only use open sights if it's really super cold out and I get excited and fog over the scope with my panting over the big buck in my sights

or if it's snowing so hard that I cant keep my scope clear even with scope caps, then Im glad to have open sights just in case. I use high basc see thru scope mounts, Im sighted in both for scope and open sights, but use open sights less than 1% of the time.
