I sympathise, I have a sight defect that debars me from the reliable use of either cross hairs or iron sights, bummer. I had resigned myself to shotgun shooting (yawn) and short range work with a 5 moa dot point sight (and you think scopes are ugly).

But, I discoverd another alternative which permits both eyes open (that's my option and a bloody good one, I can reccommend it) shooting with rifles, a Holosight. Bushnell, Eotech and I think Doctor have offerings.

You would still have to bolt a lump onto your rifle and that may not suit (they are considerably more compact than a scope, but, a lump none the less), but, I can reliably hit rabbits out to 80yds with the one on my 303.

They are far from perfected as yet, but, stick one on something that won't make you (or us) cry to drill holes in and give it a work out. If it suits then I will forgive you for having your DR taken to with the power tools necessary to fit it with one.

You may be pleasantly surprised, given my shooting a whole new lease of life.
