First official post for this Texas boy! Great site, tons of knowledge in one place.
It's my turn to tap into that knowledge base. I may be working on a large Hill Country ranch next summer, and will need a shorter Overall rifle than my Rem700 .270 for my truck that can hit pigs, 'yotes and other TX critters hard. I've always loved leverguns, so a Marlin 336 in .30-30 is what is on the shopping list for this winter. Since i'll have use it mostly while driving around in or working out of the ranch truck, the iron sights should be plenty good enough for me. BUT i'm interested in a QD ( quick detach) ring setup that i could put a 4x or 2-7x on. I know these systems, depending on manufacturer, use the wevaer or picatinny base.
Here's the question. If i put on a QD setup, will i still be able to utilize the iron sights with that picatinny or weaver base in place? Having to unbolt a base would defeat the purpose.
i know about see through rings, not the look i have in mind and the uberhigh scope seems counterproductive.
Thanks in advance for the help! (Sorry if a post has asked this before, google and site search didnt turn up any posts answering this question very well)
