Iron sights are better than a lot of people think.

One of my first and best rifles was a 1903 Springfield which the previous owner had installed a Redfield receiver rear sight and a sourdough front sight. A great combination.

I also picked up a used Sears version of the model 94 Winchester. It was one of my all time favorites. The reveiver had an awful looking mottled color of what was once, some sort of bluing. It was a post 64 model but was smooth as silk in functioning.

It also had a Redfield receiver sight. It was also the only model 94 I have ever owned which was accurate.

Many people will run out and buy a scope to mount on their rifle without first realizing there are many issues to buying and shooting a scope gun. To start with, you need to spend some serious money to get a good scope, and then you need to learn how to shoot with it. But, all the money in the world won’t automatically make you a good shot. That takes both practice and study. If you can’t fairly consistently be on target at 300 meters with A2 sights on an AR10/AR15 or standard sights on an M1A, then leave the scope on the shelf. You’ve got issues that a scope won’t fix.
