Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles Iron sights

I enjoy using iron sights. In fact I took my 7x57 Mauser out woodchuck hunting this past weekend to get acquainted with it as it is a recent aquasition. I had sighted it in on paper earlier this spring. It has the typical German flip up rear sight calibrated for 100 and 300 meters. Never got to use the 300 meter as the 3 chucks I shot at were all under 100 meters. Took one through head at 40 yards missed 2nd on because I tried to use the set trigger and need to practice more with it before using it on game. Hair trigger is apt description. 3rd was at 90 yards body shot offhand standing. Overall pretty pleased and will do some shooting drills with set trigger.
