What does everyone prefer for backup sights on hunts were you can't just walk back to your rig, say if you fly in, pack in, or back pack in? Your rifle falls and the scope is ruined. Do you:
-strip the scope off and use iron sights?
-remove the crashed scope and install a backup scope in preset and zeroed rings?
-you SOL so you go to your pistol and a big knife!?
I've contemplated this for some time. Leupold has a fixed 2.5 power ultralight scope that weighs a hair over 6 ounces. Set that puppy in some Talley vertical split rings and have it pre-zeroed to your rifle. An allen wrench to pull the damaged scope and tighten down the fresh one. Beats the heck out of iron sights.
Thoughts?
