RE: How many use open sights vs scope
I scope all my muzzleloaders except the flintlock and a couple of Hawkens. I am 68 years old and iron sights are not worth a hoot for me as they are just a big blur. I usually scope my elk rifles (an Omega and an NEF Huntsman) with 1.5-5 power Simons Pro-diamond scopes and usually leave them on 1.5 unless the shot is long and has time to spend changing the scope power. In the trees a 1.5 power scope is as quick to use as iron sights. Arizona allows scopes which is great for me.

green fiber optic is best..you only want to see front sight clear not rear..it will be blurry some..
if you want rear sight real clear, have gunsmith move it TOWARDS the front sight..you may have to have him enlarge the v-peep hole as closer you go to front sight ,the more it fills hole..
i love mine and never would put scope on unless my eyes get worst..here is my friend that makes these sights..
www.rmcsports.com look under search using V-PEEP..
