I really enjoy shooting with iron sights which is partially why I've been reluctant to even buy a scope, but the 30-06 came with a Leupold rail so I figure I'll take advantage of it on this rifle. I'm also pretty excited to start seeing how far out I can get with a basic setup after I rung steel at 400 yards with a 6.5 creedmoor my wife's cousin let me fire and that kind of gave me the bug.
