While open sights work well at close ranges, in thick bush, early and late in the day, they suck big time, especially on cloudy days. I concur, though, open sights are fairly good. I used a 2X scope on my Winchester 94 .45 Colt. That was good enough to shoot 1 1/2" at 100 meters. The accuracy rather surprised me, but you had to hold onto it both hands. It bucked & would convert that 1 1/2" into a 12" high string if you didn't.
I was just curious..back in the day when we would hunt river bottoms for whitetail, driving them..so running shots, I actually preferred the open sights ... most was reasonably close..100 yards and under..and the deer were usually hauling butt out of there ..
