Have one, it takes while to use correctly. One is certainly not making elevation corrections like we modern shooters do with it, as you have to do the following to make a correction:

1) at the start of the match have the tool fit to you preset adjustment, that is when you fit it over the leaf it is exactly set with no wobble.
2) if you want to make an adjustment in the match you fitrt it on the leaf:
3) the loosen the sight elevator screw .
4) then make the sight correction to the tool
5) then tighten the sight leaf screw
6) then remove the tool.

That said it does allow for precision adjustments of the analog scale .

When did 'Lucky Strike Green' go to war?
Ironic 'carrying case' for a precision shooter's rear-sight gauge.

When did 'Lucky Strike Green' go to war?

The brand’s signature dark-green pack was changed to white in 1942. In a famous advertising campaign that used the slogan “Lucky Strike Green has gone to war”, the company claimed the change was made because the copper used in the green color was needed for World War II. American Tobacco actually used chromium to produce the green ink, and copper to produce the gold-colored trim. A limited supply of each was available, and substitute materials made the package look drab.

Works better (and faster) if you leave a "slight" tension on the sights set screw. Use the micrometer to drag the sight to setting, set the screw, back micrometer off 2 clicks and remove. Quick and easy
