My old setup from the 90's had a rear ramp sight, and a blade on the front of the ML. I had the Smith set the blade (file and shoot-repeat) until the front blade (top of blade at the bottom of the target/ bullseye) and the ramp flat, and hitting the bull center at 100 yards. I was taught to shoot open sights this way. Never cover up the target with the front sight.

It would be nicer if they offered a 32mm objective.

A larger field of view is always nicer.

Oh... are people still looking for 1x scopes? I watched a TC Hunter end on this past Monday (1x32mm). Maybe I should have posted the link here... honestly I was tempted to jump in and buy it for a backup as they get harder to find.

I was replying to the post above mine where the new member said that Vortex was going to start up their 1x24 scope later this spring.

That is until he deleated his post.

Thanks for filling in the blanks.

But if anyone else is looking for a scope let me know, I run across them from time to time. And you are right about the field of view on the 32mm objective, its great.. but even better is the light gathering. They stay remarkably bright in low light, well better than eyes alone for sure.

A larger objective lens lets in more light, not more field of view. In most cases larger objective lenses decrease the field of view.

You need to compare them. A 32mm does let in more light but it also offers a larger field of view.

Try looking through a 1" piece of pipe at a spot on a wall. Now look through a 2" piece of pipe and you'll see more of the wall through the 2" pipe. Same as with scopes.
