Just noticed that the long range sliding leaf has the V-notch much farther to the left than on the fixed short range one. Is there any particular reason for this? Only thing I can think of is bullet drift at long range but that wouldn't be a constant variable from 600 to 2000 meters and the notch stays to the left the same distance all the way up so I doubt this is the reason. There has to be a deliberate one though, because all the workmanship and quality this gun has, I just can't see them being that shoddy, and I can't see it being overlooked and left un-corrected either, since this gun definitely saw service from 1915 to the 1940's judging by markings and the upside-down trajectory correction sticker on the stock for shooting the spitzer ammunition. Anybody know why this is, or was it an accidental oversight on some armorers part? Regardless I'll have to leave it as is, the gun is all matching, right down to the barrel bands and rear sight parts.
Thanks guys.
