I guess I'll be the stand out in the crowd. Scopes are all well and fine for many applications, however since DG distances are usually quite close and the target large I don't believe having a scope on a DG rifle at all. Use a thin rim aperature sight known generally as a "ghost ring" a good well defined front sight.(not a bead) and you're good to go fast sight aquisiton and no chance of getting lost in the scope.
