So the next time you go to the range before you load up to go home, peel your scope off your Blaser and stand up on your two hind legs like a man and shoot a few rounds even if it is 25 or 50 yards. You might find it as satisfying as I do.
Which part? The standing up or the shooting? π π π
Guess that depends on how much shine is involved!

Carjack, I too love my R-93s but I have to confess I enjoy shooting my little Browning BL-22 about as much as anything I have ever owned. I put a Williams reciever sight on it, removed the sighting aparture, and use it as a ghost ring. Too much fun! (And it’s great practice for my Savage 99F .308 with Lyman ghost ring receiver sight).

CJ,
Training to use open sights is akin to teaching kids long division and multiplication before allowing them to use calculators. It is the basics of shooting, ballistics awareness, and marksmanship. You should know and appreciate the basics so you have some knowledge of what you’re doing with the turrets on a scope, holdover, windage allowance, etc.
Look at the change in camera use in the past 20 years. One used to have to understand depth of field, F Stops, focus, etc. Now you just point and click. Folks really no longer understand just what it is that a camera allows us to do and how it does it.
If things progress as they have with technology… with built-in rangefinders, TDS and B&C reticles, and rifles capable of 500 to 800 yard shots, we are on our way to becoming “Point and Click” hunters.
Bravo for your Back to Basics approach.

You know that hard alchohol and firearms do not mix,only drink beer when you are shooting! Be safe. π
After a few beers to you I can beat you in the contest π
And I donΒ΄t have sights on my barrel π
