I have an M96 Swedish Mauser made in 1900. sights lowest setting is 300 meters...it's 1.5 inch groups hit 8 inches high at 100 yards if this helps. You will need to aim about 10 inches low or the bottom of the belly at 100 yards. I thought you government would not allow blokes to own a firearm because the politicians consider you children or they consider you a threat against their corruption.
@@JeremyS86 true. Or maybe sat after a wet hunting season and rifling degraded. I have learned that without a bore scope a barrel can look good, but have problems in the middle of the barrel that damage your projectile and harm accuracy.
Hi from France ! 8X57 IS is a great cartridge to reload (196 grs) . I reload it with 2.75grams of N150 and S&B bullets . Some change the WWI 98 front sight with WW2 98 front sight to offset the 400m range
A trick for seeing your iron sights in low light is to paint the front blade with white nail polish and it shows up well. I wouldn’t be afraid to shoot that gun out to 200 yards open sights. I use a 50 cal flintlock and I can stack 3 round balls on top of each other at 100 yards
Ahem...In me good olde days, I managed to catch and take out a"Gook" in the Bushwar in Rhodesia at 600yards. For he'd been give us a lot of problems. It was hot and sweaty, no wind I cased him as he was climbing a hill. I lay down literally melted into the Earth and give him my best shot, before he disappeared. And I dropped him as he was takin his final step. I managed to do just that with my Mauser with telescopic sights... Hah. I became the hero of the day... If nothing else Germans do make good weaponry...Hahaa.
