Iron sights versus scope
I will always be a scope person but there is a theory on scopes
Theory states that because iron sights do not bounce around in a spring cradled tube that from a physics point of view they are more reliably precise than a scope. Especially in rapid fire where a scope tube is bouncing all over the place.
I have even heard that group fliers can sometimes be attributed to a scope tube not settling back into the right spot from time to time. Also that this has even occurred in expensive scopes.
I also wonder about aimpoint sights. When they are adjusted is only the laser moved or is the aimpoint sight like a rifle scope where it has a spring cradled tube?
Note that spring cradled tube is my own word invention to describe what holds the internal tube of a scope in place. If there is a better word I would like to know what it is.
