Well, the target used in Fclsss has a V Bull that is half the diameter of the target used at the same distances for the irons rifles , that should say it all right there concerning accuracy .
More reliable ? I would argue that although they can get broken , bent and knocked out of adjustment , I would take the irons every time for a hunting rifle that is going to be used inside 150 yards all day long .
Modern scopes however can be made so dependable that the difference is minute
