Hunt would have been, too, except that old 1968 Remington 700 came with a solid set of irons. Ripped the scope off with the rings, threw it in my backpack, shot a couple of rounds at a rock to make sure nothing else was screwed up, and went back to hunting.
Iron sights, whether main or as back-up, make a heck of a lot of sense to me.
Not to hijack but I have been thinking about this too and I've never used a ghost ring setup. When using a sighting system where you center a front post in a rear sight notch, I have always heard that more distance between the two sights makes for more accurate shooting at least on handguns. When using a ghost ring sight system on a rifle where you look through the ring at a front post, is the distance between the ring and post as important especially if you have a small aperture on the ring and a small post?
This is probably crazy but specifically what I am thinking about is an inexpensive rifle like a Stevens or Marlin with iron sights. Having a front sight dovetailed or drilled/tapped may cost half as much as the rifle. So if you mounted something like AR15 backup iron sights (which I guess may cost more than a gunsmith but anyhow) at the front and rear of a weaver sight base (both sights, the ghost ring and front post would be on the receiver), could you expect any kind of accuracy or would it even be aimable? Some of the flip-up sights might be near the same eye level as a scope. I'm probably missing something fundamental here but just wondering.
