Iron sights suck in low light. The whole point of having optics is to be able to see the target better in low light. Even at fairly long range I can shoot irons almost as accurately as with a scope, as long as I can see the target. The scope helps you see the target when it is in poor light.
That said, if you want irons $75-$100 is way less than it would cost to buy a decent scope and mounts.
As long as you keep the magnification down to 2X or less optics are faster for quick snap shots too. I've also had more iron sights fail in the field than quality glass. For $100 installed and shipped back I'm betting these are cheap irons.
For me, a 1-4X or 2-7X scope is about perfect for all around use. A 3-9X isn't bad, but I don't want any more magnification on the low end than 3X, and the difference with a true 1X scope is dramatic.
