Re: Merkel open sights

Itch was just unbearable - express sights were allready on order, when on one of the last hunts last year I handled my friends double fitted with ones (shallow V - silver bead) in the woods and got rather dissapointed with efforts needed picking them out in different lighting conditions (especialy when light comes from front). So I took a good thought on the matter and decided to give a try to Recknagel smalest fiber bead (2mm) and rear that comes with it.

Front:



Rear (upper height of the side forks is originaly adjusted to bigger bead - they were lowered so the upper edge alignes with top of the bead) :



Look trough them with rear light against dark background:



With front light:



Glow of the front bead is steady with no side light effects - black hoops frame it nice. So I took the bull by its horns and went at 100m range right away. Front post diameter coincide with outer circle diameter of target when aiming at 100m. So I put R-L with 293 factory TUG's (lower hits) and R-L with factory Norma 230gr Oryx and got lucky on those two must admit .



Ah I hear Iggy Pop's on that one:

"So I take a little bad with the good
It ain't just black and white
(It still ain't black and white)
You've got to deal with the real
Woo, living on the edge of the night"

So the search is over (till nex time ) - I will sleep good tonight.

Thanks to all that contributed to this thread - it was an enjoyable journey and I loved it all the way.
