    Don't spend big bucks on glasses for this, go to the drug store and try readers until you find the correct prescription that will work on shooting...I use different ones for reading and distance, fixed as suggested and big owl eyes for distance.
    Regards, Jim

    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.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I mate of mine uses an old prescription about 5 (I think) below the standard one for his every day glasses...... he doesn't do more than 25m in most disciplines

I used an old pair of frames from my previous set of glasses and got plain lenses, no coatings or photochromatic changes for about $60. Front sight will be infocus. You can add a pinhole cover, even a piece of tape with a pinhole to increase depth of field. This will at least give you an inexpensive option to test the waters before you buy a more expensive rig.
    That's the plan. I will get past this shoot and look further into getting this whole thing sorted out.

    I use a cheap pair of glasses (1.25X) costing £1 and I black out the right lens with a strip of black tape with a pinhole in it. It works perfectly at all distances. The trick is to get the pinhole in line with your line of sight.
    Up to trying that I couldn't focus on the backsight, front sight and target on any of my rifles with a barrel mounted sight.
