I've always said that I wouldn't scope any of my milsurps, but curiosity got the better of me and I did buy a clamp-on scope mount for one of my K-31's just to see what she could really do off the bench. I was impressed. Those are very accurate rifles.
Me, I just like irons, especially in the woods. I'm a big fan of aperture sights. I certainly don't fault others for what they do with their own guns, but some rifles just don't look right with a scope.
