I hunted with that Battue using iron sights for 3 years before I put the scope on it. The irons where really good. Put the fiber optic on the target and at 100 it hits near the top of the dot and at 200 near the bottom of the dot. I shot 1.25" 3 shot groups at 100 and 2.5" - 3" at 200. But I also hunted with my CZ 550 LUX and Safari for 10 years more then that and still only use iron sights when I take those rifle.

You must have GREAT GREAT EYE sight ! Good for you ! RJ

Other than the often discussed yet rarely encountered charging dangerous game inside 50 yards scenario, I can’t imagine being handicapped by iron sights for hunting.

Fair enough, however, if you are given a ground station (there is also treestands...) in the forest during a drive hunt for deer and boar the scope will be your handicap.

Shooting distances can be as close as a few metres maybe up to 30 metres on fast moving game in a state of panic.

I find that to be a reasonable claim. I don't have a battue rifle anymore but can hit a 6" steel plate @ 200 metres of the bench with a non scoped BLR anytime. That is close to center of the plate with 3 shot groups and BLRs are not known for their long sight radius with factory sights.

He's not the only one...

Hard to imagine the right optic ever being a handicap

Who needs optics, I hear you have amazing vision

Oh take your "notice me" antics to PM will ya lol. You go so far as to make it unseemly.


I said my eyes work but if you want to think of me as amazing thats fine.

Its even amazinger with an optic. For everyone. Imagine that!

Have often said and heard the same said about the irons on a 30-30 and they manage to do it without being bestudded with fiber optics all over. But maybe just not good enough for hunting when you have 50 peasants beating the bush for you or your quarry is chased by dogs lol

Looks inspired by the sh*t they use to help a plane land on an aircraft carrier

Dig the concept just fine, in all seriousness....just hate fiber optics. My eyes work tho.

Jesus, looks like they slapped the ass end of one of the space ships from close encounters of the third kind on there. Do they play music too?
