My Gewehr 98

[Ovidio]

Tomorrow I’ll take my Gew. 98 to the range, again. After a long time.
Today I finally decided to change the front sight and got a tall one installed.
Made my maths and adjusted the rear sight to 800 meters, so I should be right on at 100, whereas with the original sight it shot 12 inches high at the same distance.
I really like this rifle.
It has been heavily used, but still shoots great, has a good bore and now, with a tall front sight, might even be usable again.
It is not matching, the bolt is a bit of a mix, but great rifle, still.
If 100 is ok, I’ll immediately swap to 200, just for the fun of it.
Back-up rifle will be my SMLE.
I bet it will be fun...Attachment 92808Attachment 92810Attachment 92809Attachment 92811Attachment 92812
