    How to use SKS Sight

    What is the rifle sighted in for when you use adjust the rear sight to the setting below 100 meters where the symbol is?

    It actually raises the rear sight, and sets on top of the notch, making it higher than the 100 meter setting, so wouldn't this make it shoot high at 100m?

    I figured the setting was for 50m maybe or am I thinking about this wrong?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    It's actually the generic or "battle" sight setting- roughly 250-300m depending on the rifle. It is what you leave the sight set at unless you have need to fine tune on the battlefield. Aim at the center of mass(belt buckle) and pull the trigger. Repeat as required.
