No, no, son. It’s absolutely okay. We’re all subject to our whims and fancies. As you mentioned, you have other properly configured rifles for the “What if” scenarios.I may have expressed myself poorly. I'm absolutely not against iron sights nor rifles with both iron sights and scopes. The overwhelming majority of my rifles fit that description (scope & irons). I'm just choosing not to go that route on this one particular rifle.
Thanks Pops.No, no, son. It’s absolutely okay. We’re all subject to our whims and fancies. As you mentioned, you have other properly configured rifles for the “What if” scenarios.
True. I would assume anyone taking an iron sighted firearm into the long grass on a follow up has spent some time practicing off-hand shooting with them. As for me, whether using a R8 or a S2, irons are preferable than a scope for a follow up - see my comments above. Whether someone wants to bring along another back-up scope is a separate issue.Back in the ol`days before the world turned mad I am sure discussions in the Gentlemens club would have been about:" should a sportsman going abroad take a hammerless or his hammergun with him"?. Iron was an "ofcouse" as there weren`t many scopes if there were any.
Likewise RedLeg I too believe a good rifle for traveling ought to have ironsights and a QD scopemount. When this said I am an ironsight shooter. No need to have ironsights on your rifle unless you can actually use them. If not then carry an extra scope make more sence. It would be a mistake during a safari to start learning to become familiar with the ironsights.
Well, go for it!!!I may have expressed myself poorly. I'm absolutely not against iron sights nor rifles with both iron sights and scopes. The overwhelming majority of my rifles fit that description (scope & irons). I'm just choosing not to go that route on this one particular rifle.
Why?I'm going to have some work done on one of my 9.3x62 rifles. It will used exclusively as a plains game, elk, deer gun. No DG. No big bears. IOW, no close quarters work with stuff that bites or stomps. I have a 375H&H and a 404J for that kind of hunting. I'm leaning towards not having express/iron sights installed.
Ah dude, focus.I want to keep the rifle as clean and light as possible. What do you think?

Caliber? I love the look of those 600’s and would love to aquire one in 350 remington.Noop.
An aperture sight with a large ghost-ring size peep, with a gold/“twilight” outer circle, is preferred for shots from point-blank to about 150yds.

Yes, this one’s chambered in .350RM. It’s a handy, quick-to-point snot-pounder.Caliber? I love the look of those 600’s and would love to aquire one in 350 remington.
