Buy recommendations Iron sights or scope recommendations?

Just picked up a Tikka T3 in .270 Win. Should I hunt with the factory iron sights, or put a scope on it? If you’d go with a scope, what would you recommend? Thanks!

It’s hard to comprehend how lush some parts of Canada can be even when I’m out there seeing it with my own eyes.

Anyway, what sort of budget are we looking at here? What sort of hunting? What sort of range?

Agreed, we're quite lucky to have landscapes like this right in our backyards. I'm looking to spend up to $750, hunting for mule deer and probably inside of 250 yards. Looking to keep it as light weight as possible.

Sounds like irons to me, if you  want to save money and keep it light weight. Maybe practice a bit with irons as 250 yards first,  if you don't already do so
