It won't increase your accuracy if you don't have a good foundation in basic marksmanship skills. Interestingly, there's a bit of a debate about training CF recruits on rifles with ELCANs, as some feel it can mask deficiencies in shooting skills that would show up on ironsights. Around the beginning of the month I forced myself to shoot using irons to relearn some of the basic skills I had lost over the years, and was rewarded with much tighter groupings when I returned to an optic. My roommate looked at me like I was stupid when he saw me mount irons to a L96, but he's damn impressed.

Again, your mileage will vary, and you may find it doesn't even fit your style of play.
