Open Sights long range i.e. 500-1000 yards.

Tell me where and when, you old bastards, I'll be there. And I'll bring the M1A just to annoy you with hot brass.

Edit: Well, not so old with Nate. But you know what I mean.

I remember talking s*** like that, lol. Then them old bastards walked up to the line and proceeded to shoot 4" groups at 200yrds standing offhand, 20rds in under 60 seconds.
Long-range shooters today have a lot more access to excellent equipment than we did. Only good 308 ammo was Lake City match ammo, if you could find it. Brass was hard to find, pulled many a bullet out of G.I. ball ammo and replaced it with the Sierra 168gr Matchking, aka Mexican Match. My first M1A Supermatch was really expensive, $450, lot of money back then, lol.
Nobody shared tips or information, they took it very, very serious.
I got to shoot a few National Guard team matches back in the late 70s and I wasn't even in the Guard, they even brought me a uniform and furnished the ammo. Damn, that was fun.
Ok, I'll shut up now, lol. Enjoy it brothers.

The other thing to remember is that those battle sights are designed for 18 to 20 something year old eyes.

Oh the story these old battle rifles could tell….GI bring back, 8mm Mauser. Only import marks were on the GI that survived WW2.

2 years ago I was dog shooting in Wyoming and got to shoot at one mile on a 4 ft. x 8 ft. steel plate.
With a Czech 98/22, I was able to hit it a few times, stock sights and old surplus ammo. That was great fun.

Dunno, but the way the mag curves reminds me of the mag for the PPS sub machine gun in 7.62x25 Tokarev.
