Front sight shouldn't cover up what you're shooting at. It's a common misconception that you have to be able to see a tiny target to shoot a tiny group. It's a misconception that your front sight needs to be smaller than the target. If I can shoot MOA with buckhorn sights (benchrested) then any good rifleman should be able to knock a deer over at 200yds if light permits. IMHO, the greatest benefit to a scope is light transmission at dawn and dusk, not magnification.
Shooters with failing eyesight are another matter.
