What Should I Look for Next?

[Patrick Chadwick]

I just thought out why I like the G96-11 so much - it's the sights. Much better than the typical Mauser inverted-V blade, and the backsight is further out than on other rifles. On most, this would mean a rather short sight radius, but the G96-11 barrel is so long that you still have a more than 25" sight radíus - almost the same as a Swedish M96. So the G96-11 gets my vote as the best open-sighted rifle for old eyes with limited accommodation.
