I like period Japanese glass in sensible powers and sizes (4x32, 4x and 6x40, 3-9x32 or 40) on full size, full power hunting/FT guns from the 80s. I have basically given up on period mounts because so many of them are awful and the good ones (eg Apel) are hard to find, and use Sportsmatch or in one case BKL 1 piece.
Iron sights on anything pre-1975 or so.
Smaller rifles (eg Diana 25, 24) mostly iron sights. I gave been known to put a small scope on, only to decide I prefer to use the irons (and this is for short range plinking, nothing more demanding).
The older click-adjustable Williams peep sights are quite nice, and "age appropriate" - eg I have a Beeman branded one on my C1 carbine.
Although they are historically appropriate, I have no time for the little 7/8" tube integral mount 4x20s and the like. Have never had a good experience with one. The only way I could contemplate one would be on an RO72 "Artillery Carbine", because it's a novelty from my youth, not an airgun you actually shoot for pleasure.
