Guess I'm just lucky
I have see through's on my Marlin 336c .35 rem. & I usually hold about 1" groups @ 100. Also I have shot 2 deer running like wildfire with my open sights & about 8-9 with my scope. I sight my scope in @ 100yds. & my open sights @ 50yds. You all make good points & I see where you're coming from, maybe I'm just lucky. Also I've been using this rifle setup like this since I was 12 so perhapse I'm just accustomed to how it shoots. Either way I'm not complaining
. Although I am switching to a 7mm without open sights this year just for a change. Call me crazy.
