That rifle is remarkably accurate, from all the rags Ive read through.
My advice is to give the scoped rifle a try. If you not willing to then buy a rifle with iron sights already on it. In my experience of shooting game at yardage past 100 or yds is that the front sight covers too much of the animal, whereas a scopes magnified image helps me to pick a spot to hit. Aim small Miss small
