    The REAL rub, when the No5 sight was added to the L81 rifle, albeit by default, was that the competiitions went up to 900 yards - or whatever that is in centi-feet - and you couldn't get past 800 whatsits using the No5 sight. You couldn't even count the clicks unless they went to workshops and had No4 sight parts fitted Nope....., you couldn't make it up!
