You can get the see through scope mounts. My grandfather had some of these on his 30-30 and they put the scope up so high that it was really uncomfortable when trying to site with the scope.

That said, Weaver makes a pivot mount that will allow the scope to be hinged to the side allowing the shooter to use the iron sights. My dad bought a .308 one time that had this style on it. I got to carry the gun and the mounts did a decent job of staying true. One draw back though was if you didn't get the scope snapped all the way back into position, it would be off and you'd miss.

Seriously, I'd go for just getting a variable powered scope fitted with the appropriate sized bases so that you are comfortably looking through it when you pull the gun up. Then keep the scope on the low setting unless you need to zoom in on a long-range target. Once I got used to the scope, I don't have any trouble sighting in on a deer/coyote/whatever running through brush.

I've never used a scope and you're exactly right, I'm concerned about that running shot. I've just always used open sites, but lately the old eyes just aint what they used to be. I will check in to a variable powered scope. Do you recommend a particular brand?

mmdog,

Its very unfortunate that you wasted good soda by spitting it out. The good news is that if the bulk of semen that is surely on that board, between yourself, and your teenage boys isn't sticking the keys down. You'll be alright.

Squirt some windex on a brawney towel and sop that muva up.

You can get a Leupold VX-1 3-9 power for $200 from walmart (or from most other places too). It has a lifetime guarantee. Yes, you can buy a $50-$75 scope, but if you are going to do that, just save yourself the $, keep the iron sights and not have to deal with poor optics. I also have a Burris and a Weaver and would recomend them as well. Both are good scopes comparable (quality and price) to my Leupold, but I prefer my Leupold hands down. If you have the cash for more scope, I'd go for a Leupold VX-2 or even a Vari-X III. Once you've hunted with a quality scope you won't be able to go back. I cringe when I have to look though a friends cheap scope.

Who'd you give rep to? I don't see a Martha on here tonight. And you can't be talking to me because you haven't given me rep since 2003.

BTW, if you give positive rep to a couple other BB members, you should be able to do a neg rep.

Were you shooting it with your ManGoo? Gross.

It is true.

My family once had a cow that had a bad hip and was "down"..we fed it, medicated it, watered it, kept it in dry bedding in shelter. It developed an open sore, so it had to be put down. With a .22 revolver, I shot it between the eyes 6 times at Close range. Didn't die. Shot it through the ear with #7.

A family member was once a county sheriff and told a story of a call to a home with a "homicide". Upon arrival found a man, shot in the forehead 3 times. While watching the scene while another deputy searched the house for others, he was startled by a groan.

The man had attempted suicide. Had shot him self in the head with a .22, knocked unconcious, woke up...shot himself in the head..unconsious....woke up...shot himself in the head, knocked himself unconsious.....woke up with Company.

The Moral..........A .22, or small caliber high velocity round, at close range, will flatten on the skull, instead of penetrating. At 10', its deadly, point blank..not always.

Iowanian would not however recommend doing this as a party trick.

This way, even if impaired, you'll have to type with 1 hand, which is uncoorinated, and posters won't be subjected to abundances of words.
