I have a 30s vintage 9.3X62 Husqvarna with the original express sights on it that I restored and am going to go back to Africa with. I have been pleasantly surprised at just how good those sights are in every hunting situation I've been in with it. We Americans don't have very many domestic rifles with decent open sights to choose from. My last trip to South Africa sort of soured me on scopes and for all of the shooting opportunities I had, open sights were all I needed.
