The main dislike I had to his, was it did not have a wide shallow V in the rear sight, instead had the small square rear notch.



The one I had in my hands a couple of months ago had a standing leaf with shallow vee, and the first flip-up leaf was for the same distance (~100m?) but with the square notch IIRC.
So you could flip up the first leaf for greater perceived accuracy for a precision shot if you had time.
Additional leaves were for greater distances as per traditional leaf sights.
Think I got that right! That particular rifle is owned and shot regularly by one of the posters above, who may care to comment futher...




On the money there. Shallow V with 50 and 100m leafs with the smaller u notch. The shallow V and 50m folding leaf shoot to the same point of impact. I have found it a very practical set up thus far.
