Rejecting any kit out of hand is not good. They have a use, use it. Only if you do not have a backup, say iron sights who you be leaving yourself in a possible world of hurt.

What worked 40 years ago, doesn't work as well as it did. I'm talking aging & iron sights. Back when I shot Service Rifle matches in the late '80's/ early '90's, I considered scopes redundant. Age has a way of changing your mind. The majority of my rifles are still iron sights but these days I'm willing to use a scope far more readily than I did years before.
