Traditionally, rifles had iron sights.
Scopes came into the scene in the 1800s, and optics, by which I mean holographic and or electronic sights, started in the 80s and are big deals now. Battery powered optics usually are backed up with fold down back up iron sights. A “real scope” does not need backup irons. - - Return of Kings

"Lever actions are common to shotguns, and rare on rifles."

"The granddaddy of repeaters is the bolt action, developed in 1898."
