Regarding the 6.5mm Swedish Mauser. How is this rifle sighted properly. Does one visualize a pie plate just?

Question

above the back notch and the front blade or is there some other way? If you have some experience with this gun can you help out

Answer 1

First I Invite you to join the swedish Mauser Yahoo group. Next If you have never used open sights, heres the $.02 lesson. Sight the bullseye (plate) to sit directly above the front sight ( without the gap)

Answer 2

Mount the rifle on a solid table and sight it in on a target 25 feet away-take a shot and then adjust your sights till they line up with the hole you just made,while leaving the rifle exactly as it was when you fired it.
