I'm the same, in person, as I am here. I speak my mind, especially, when it comes to rules. Rules are what put EVERYONE on the same play ground and they are what make everything even and fair.
Now, when the Traditional rules where made, there weren't commonly available Traditional scopes available or the class couldn't have come to be but, with iron sights so, they allowed more modern external scopes. That's not the case any more, there are now scopes available that meet the criteria and no, I hold no interest in the people that make them.
I see
used STS, offered, here on the forum for the same price that you can buy a
new MVA and they are snapped up, within a few days so, I really don't see where cost is a consideration.
Yes, you'll also need a scoping scope but, we use them for IS matches, anyway.
My only concern, regarding the rules is that the sights do not match the equipment, for the time period, making it unfair for the ODG's, at can't speak for themselves! I'm sure they would have a fit about being taken advantage of
Change the rules to iron sight only and I'm good to go. Most shot that way, anyway.
