your not the only one haha, i seemed to have to buy new scopes for my hunting guns and they are not cheap,
i like shooting iron sights but my best gun with iron sites happens to be a flintlock lol.
Good hunting scopes can cost as much, if not significantly more than the rifles they go on. I have been ruined by high quality glass for low light hunting. I have some cheaper scopes but for hunting, I want a good low light performer. I really like illuminated reticles too. My problem is, I like to hunt with several different rifles which leads me to want/need several higher end scopes.
They sure will! My dad is 74 and he hated the red dots, at first. He either struggled to find the dot or complained about it jumping all over the place, lol. Over the last two years they have grown on him. He can center the dot up quicker now and he "deals with" the bouncing around. We shoot steel at 100yds with my buckmark and he really likes shooting it off a bag at those longer ranges.Red dots will spoil you, won't they? They will also show you just how still, or not, you can hold your gun.
I think my next pistol optic will be a holosun. They seem to be of decent quality. I've been extremely happy with the 1 moa RMR's and SRO but man those things aren't cheap.
I like iron sights too. Especially fiber optic front and blacked out rear target sights.
So true but you better be able to use those iron sights when SHTF and there are no batteries to be had.
That's for sure. I do need to stock up on some 2032's and some CR123s.
I built a M16A2 clone with a carry handle upper receiver, that's a fun plinker. I have back up irons on a couple other AR's too.
I have suppressor height tritium sights on my PDP and they co-witness through my RMR. Sometimes I leave the dot off and shoot through the RMR window with the irons for fun/practice.
