i have lever action rifles with iron sights 30/30,375 and 22lr dont want to use scopes on lever guns,i like them without.i shoot other rifles with scopes,my eyes arent what they used to be and scopes help out alot.with use of eye glasses i still do ok using open sights and will continue untill i cant see well enough.i like my old school rifles.

For stand hunting in Ohio iron sights are all you need.

Even on scoped rifles I like to have iron stes as backup.

I like being able to use both, look left.

Two of my favorite rifles have peep sights. One is a model 64 Winchester with a Williams receiver (peep) sight. The other is a 1903 Springfield sporter with an old Lyman receiver sight. The stocks are the right height to get a solid cheek weld with the sights being in line. The Winchester is my favorite rifle for still hunting rain forest blacktails. The conditions are so wet that any scope that is not covered will have water, leaves and all kinds of junk on the ocular lens and there is seldom time to remove the covers as sometimes the shots are measured in feet and not yards.

I always used iron sights and maybe later on in life, I use the scope when eyesight gets really bad!!!

I have one scoped rifle and one iron sight rifle. The scope is a plus if I'm shooting any distance but at a hundred-hundred-fifty yards my iron sighted mosin nagant works pretty well. If iron sights can take down a man it can take down a animal. I think alotta people forget when hunting you don't need pin point MOAS, just accurate enough to make a clean kill.

I have 3 un-scoped rifles, a .30-30 buck horn sight, .358 Winchester Lyman peep/aperture sight, and .300 Savage with semi-buckhorn sight.

I do prefer them in brushy areas and dark timber for sure.

All my lever guns wear either Buck horns or tang sights.

All my traditional muzzle loaders have iron sights as a matter of course.

All my bolt guns wear a scope.

My muzzleloaders are traditional and therefore fitted with fixed iron sights. Of my cartridge rifles one third are scoped and the rest have adjustable iron sights.

I have scopes on all the bolt guns, some set over IronSighter mounts, and one with a quick release. The lever guns all have either tang sights, or full/semi buckhorns with white or gold beads. The .22s are mixed, scoped, iron and peep sights. The muzzleloader is strictly iron sights, as are the shotguns.

I use scoped rifles most of the time, if the weather is bad or I'm hunting thickets I'll take ole faithfull, my iron sighted pre 64 Winchester.
