    Shooting at 20-50 meters with Vz 98/22 or Swedish 96

    With the level of elevation that the battle sights on these rifles have for a minimum, would it be worth buying when 20-50 meters would be an average distance for me to shoot? Would I have to be aiming particularly low? (far enough that I can't see my target such as a two liter bottle Or propped up clay pigeon) Or is that range with the 8mm and or 6.5x55 minimal enough that it wouldn't mean my point of aim would have to be particularly off? As a note for those that might ask, I'd most likely be buying PPU ammo.

    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.

    Depends on the rifle I have a few sights the Germanicon "S" type zero is 400M, another unknown one is 300M and the 303 one is 200Yds if your only shooting that distance be minimal hold under the thing to do is get to a range with the ammo shoot off a rest at these ranges using a center hold on a splatter target and see where the pill impacts that will give you your hold.
    If your just hunting Deer or pigs a center hold on their boiler room the difference wont matter.

    Although I basically agree with Cinders, I would recommend that you buy an extra-high front blade for your rifle. Holding deep is only practical if you are always using the same rifle at the same distance with the same ammo.

    Change one of those three, or shoot more than one rifle, and it becomes totally confusing. Sooner or later you are going to want to shoot accurately at longer distance than 25 yards! So you will want to have the POA in the adjustable range of the sight, to be able to zero it for a specific ammo. ALL my Mausers (Germanicon, Swedishicon, Brazilianicon, Argentine) have ended up with a taller front blade for that reason.
