Merkel open sights
23/11/07 01:34 AM

Hi guys – perhaps you have seen “the thing” on other forums already but would love to hear from you - finally.

I am not quite satisfied with open sights on my Merkel – they are fast and on par for shooting up to 50m, but further out they just loose the edge. For comparison – I regularly shoot my Brno .22 l.r with factory open sights out to 75m without a problem – I will be happy to do the same with Merkel. There is always that extra need for checking if the top of the post is aligned with the top of the blade (IMO that red fiber glows to much on the top – so you have to look at it really carefully to determine the final upper edge).

I have shot app 200 rounds so far (shot 4 heads (3 red deer calves and 1 boar – some were nice shots some disastrous – front leg with left BBL after a miss with right – running shot at 8m). Results just differ too much – in short – I am not as pleased as Punch.

My vision is still OK – no problem with dim condition – yet - I could replace some of the speed for accuracy – extend the range out to 80m, maybe 100. I am definitely not looking for a scope or holosight - so a couple of options:

1. Change the front post for this one:

2. Change both – front and rear and put on classic express sights (have shot them with M70 in 458 WM and CZ 550 375 H&H – they are a bit odd (I am not used to them – they appear so low) but got good results and I guess I would adopt to them with ease.

or:

And a classic fixed 1 leaf rear with silver/gold line.

3. Leave them just as they are – shoot some more and get to know them better.

I know I should get the answer myself at the end but any opinion would help.

Gentlemen?
