I have just finished a conversation with MR. Ed Plumber of AHR and he says my new custom .458 Lott I have on order will be ready soon. Now the dilemma is this, I have perfect eye site and shoot iron sites pretty well, I had Ed install a fiber optic hooded front site with the express shallow notch and single flip up rear sites. I had intended to not scope this rifle as it will be used for elephant and buff only and I personally prefer my shots under 100 yards really closer to 50 yards as shooting a buff at 100-200 yards takes some of the sport out of it for me personally.
My question is should I install a scope on the off chance that 50" beast walks out at 200+ or would anyone have another reason to scope this rifle or stick with my better judgment and not drill holes in my new DG rifle?
I simply like the good looks of a open sited big boar and of course prefer opens up close but this rifle was built to be used and practicality is job number one, so any suggestions?
