Hemingway, who did not have the best eyesight, as did TR, hated scopes. He removed one from his Griffin and Howe '03 30/06, a rifle that he loved, and shot for the remainder of his life. As the story goes it was stolen from Jack's home in Ketcham, Idaho.
I like peep sights too and while I have a scope, a Leupold 4 pwr on my Ruger 77 in .257 Rbts, I like to shoot thru or over iron sights. Most game is shot close. No need for a scope.
