No. The T3x Hunter is designed for scoped use only. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, but no iron sights are included.
What is the magazine capacity?
It uses a detachable box magazine with a 3-round capacity, standard for hunting magnum calibers.
What is the difference between the T3x Hunter and the T3x Lite?
