No Sharpie, either.<BR/><BR/>And they do swing up. And adjust all the way to 2000. They were still making sights for the long-range volley stuff, the changes coming due to the machinegun not understood yet.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-22983915731256571392008-10-10T19:00:00.000-07:002008-10-10T19:00:00.000-07:00The shortest range setting of 300 meters is like m...The shortest range setting of 300 meters is like my Swedish M1896. Does the Swiss "reach out and touch someone" to 2000m too? (That's the longest setting on the Swede, altho at that range I think you're lobbing it in like artillery.)<BR/><BR/>A tip for reducing the glare on the sights: "smoke" them, covering them with a layer of carbon from a lighter or match, being careful not to catch the stock on fire! (The rear sights on my Swede flip up, reducing the fire danger. I don't know about the Swiss rifle.)Mattexianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364636677279037964noreply@blogger.com
