United States Rifle M1917 Enfield 100 yards Iron Sights (Rifle Channel Video)

[Patrick Chadwick]

OK, now see what an M1917 can do in a competition...

Attachment 23675

This was created by leaving my sighter target on the board behind the real competition target. That is why the holes are a bit ragged, and x marks the 3 sighters around 1 o'clock.

It also illustrates the limitations of the M1917 sights. I had go down one notch and hold over, thus aiming in the white 6 at about 7 o'clock. So that's how I got the 8s at 12 and 4 o'clock, when I got a tiny bit sloppy!

Firing for a group, off a sandbag this rifle will place everything in a 5 cm group at 100 meters. When circumstances allow, I will fire off a 5-shot group for the Milsurp competition and post it there.
