I've heard that Real men use Iron...Until your a real old man, as I at 60, then a little glass does help. One to look through and hit your target & one to take a shot from when ya did good. LOL

:lol: :lol: :lol: Real men do use Iron sights :biggrin: I do on all my milsurps, never scoped a one of them. Of course I just plink for fun with the millsurps, don't care if I print a tight group on the target or not. However if I need to take a shot and not miss I use one of my commercial sporters, most of them have glass 'cause I can't see for shit and I am not wasting ammo that costs more than a buck a pop

I have also read that he did not use a scope as he could keep his head down with the open sights.

It seems he did use iron sights to great effect first on deer, and later on Russians. He racked up a higher kill count than smallpox.
