I do admit...... eyes DO play an important role..... Lucky for me at almost 55 years..... I can still "work" iron sights without glasses.

Again, true.... Good light is needed for iron sights.

If I owned a Rifle in that Caliber, that I could shoot that well, I would keep it wrapped up in silk or some good Velour. I would only unwrap it right before I got ready to shoot. As quick as the shot was made, I would wrap it back up. I don't think I would even let anyone get a good glipse of it. I swear, I would keep it hid.
