Quote:Hello NitroX,
One other factor is barrel rifling twist. Are the rifling twists of the 10.75 and .404 the same? This also has bullet choice impact. Perhaps Buckstix knows for his new rifle?
Thanks for the reply.
The barrel twist is the "16.5" that is stamped on the barrel. I don't know the twist rate of a 404.
Quote:Hello Rothhammer1,
I don't think I've seen two opposing leaves like this before with a central standing leaf...
..What distance is the standing leaf for?
Thanks for the reply.
As the rear sight shown in the picture, the 3-leaf site was one of several options for the rifle. As Rothhammer1 pointed out, the "079" is the last 3 digits of the rifle's serial number. The standing sight is marked "100", the folding leaf leaf closest is marked "200", and farthest leaf is marked "300".
However, I don't think my 72 year old eyes will be much use over 50 meters. I might have to add one of my "Improised 50-Meter Peep Sights" - like this one that I added to my Turkey Gun. Here in Wisconsin the Sights are Free, and there are SIX of them with every 6-Pack of beer.
