It'd be a cryin' shame to Bubba a vintage battle rifle just because of one's eye sight though.
"...expect losses till around 55..." I think he's being optimistic. Mind you, I got specs for distance at 42ish and my vision hasn't gotten any worse. Hearing is gone in one ear though. Fortunately, I'm, not listening anyway. snicker.
The rear sight is just blurry enough it was hard to see the front sight. Black on black does not help either. Painting the back of the front sight gold helped some. No bubbaing of any of my LEs...it comes to that I'll just admire em till I take a dirt nap lol

We need guns like the Blunderbuss, sawed off shotguns, machine guns and 40mm grenade launchers. Just my 2 cents worth though.
Might just have to go with hand grenades eventually....shoulder will probably give out and it will go 10 feet.
