I would like to add acquisition of the target at close quarters is much faster with open sites than with a scoped rifle.
This depends on how close is close.
Most of the dangerous game I have hunted has been shot between 20 to 80m in scrub where a scope was far easier to acquire the target.
Within 20m now thats where open sights are great and thats why open sighted doubles are perfect for Elephant. Not so for Cape Buffalo though.
