It’s called hypocrisy. Pure and simple.
For years I have waged a vicious, relentless war against scoping lever guns. I have scolded those who have, pshawed those who claimed that aging eyes required it, vilified those who claimed that doing so improved their enjoyment and expanded their use of said rifles.
I love my Marlin 336 Texan. I find it the ideal rifle for hog stalking. But, on my last hog hunt last month, I found my eyes were not responding as well to the Williams peep sight. Even when I removed the disc and used the rear sight as a ghost ring, my target acquisition was sub-optimal.
I was filled with anguish, indeed, near despair. But, I sucked it up, recognized that I would have to do the needful. I can only live with myself because the use of a period Weaver K3 is contemporaneous with the 1968 manufactured Texan. And the post reticle is pretty much perfect.
But oh, the ignominy...
