There are folk like you that get intimidated by scopes, others who wrongly think iron sights are better for certain tasks. But the right scope is better than any iron sight created. They are just a durable, faster to use, better sight picture, etc. You want to get a .243 and use iron sights you are doing nothing but handicapping yourself. Some folks intentionally do that, same as some folks use muzzle loaders or handguns for hunting and that's fine. I like handgun hunting myself and like the challenge, But don't be fooled into thinkin scopes aren't hands down better.
