I've been benching a Savage MKII FVT that comes with Williams receiver sights and I've mounted both a 4x and two 3x9 scopes on it to see if I can improve on my groups.
For a target, I use a target with a large bull that scales to my front sight post and for the scope, I put an round orange sticker on centered on the bull.
So far I'm getting better groups with iron sights. I don't have what I consider superior vision, I'm over fifty, my near vision is about gone and since I have always been myopic, far vision has depended on glasses for 40+ years.
I can't read traffic signs as far away as I used to so whatever I started out with has declined. I think I have average vision.
So the question I hope I have framed correctly is at what power with a good scope vs good aperture sights shooting at a target that is appropriate for each is where the scope begins to rule?
Thank you,
