RE: "Why would one leaf not be permanent standing?" I was told that some early rifles and also paradox guns did not have a standing lief for close up shooting because the intent was to shoot them like a shotgun, looking at the animal and not the sights.

Makes sense. Whether the practice makes sense, shooting bullets without rear sights, only actual use would tell. Practicing with it like that and depending on fit might work. Or just raise the rear leaf.
