Sight notch for "normal" shooting distances.

Some M95 owners aren't aware that there is a sighting notch that will give POA results at 100 yards with milsurp or similarly loaded ammo. Flip the rear sight up. At the bottom of the ladder in the middle, there is a small sight notch. With milsurp ammo, that will give you dang near POA at 50 and 100 yards.

Maybe I'm just lucky? The normal notch without raising the blade on my Steyr is dead on at fifty yards.

I've never raised the sight on mine. Not to shoot anyway.

If I use the sight "normally", milsurp or ammo with similar ballistics will shoot a foot or so high at 50 and 100 yards in my M95.

Here is a pic from the range today using the notch in question after filing it square and filing the front site to a flat. It's a 5-shot group, I have no idea where the 5th shot went..........

I'll adjust the front site to correct the left-of-aim impact and try it again soon with the same loads. (150gr Buffalo bullets over 49gr IMR-4895).
