None with scope.  I would tend to agree maybe not the best first rifle let alone maybe not the best sites to hunt with in open country.  In fact maybe not even the best second or third best rifle to hunt with.But it was tradition as I was told.So one day I have this model 92 made in 1917 in 25-20, iron site just like the rifle that kill the Jordan buck, one day me and that model 92, we will make history again just like the Jordan buck (however I will not wait 40 or so years to get my due like Jordan did).  Even have a box of bullets that appear to have been made back way back when to use on that there buck that will make me known in the world of whitetail hunting.  db-2</blockquote>
