How to Use the Sights on Old Rifles

My YouTube

Late Edit:

Someone left a comment on this video at YouTube that I thought was worth adding in addition to the video.

I have seen at least one milsurp variant whose rear sight does flip up for elevation adjustment - the Steyr M95.
When laying down it looks pretty conventional and is set for 500 Schritten (a schritten is 0.75 meters). For shooting at longer ranges the sight leaf is hinged at the rear and the slider may be adjusted from 700-2200 schritten, or you can use another notch at the top of the leaf for 2400 schritten - just shy of 2000 yards and more than a bit optimistic.
