Kar98k Iron Sights to 500yds: Practical Accuracy

[Music] foreign [Music] holding my breath give him a chance neutralize lord 250 [Applause] boom one more one more [Applause] what's that that 300 meter head shot yeah just off the left edge okay okay just off the right edge right down the middle [Applause] i like calling hits on this one i don't even have to say anything yeah 350. [Applause] [Applause] boom okay those rear sights are getting toasty yeah dear honda elevation's good literally just off the left edge okay [Applause] okay on the base it was right in the base yep windage was good okay okay elevation's better it's about three quarters the way up the target but it's off the right edge nice found the whole day and then i was just chasing that compensation at the end when you told me the elevation was fine and it was i was aiming to the right i just bullseyed it and there it is yep it's the difficulty is you know it's the same reason that you don't take you know one-shot groups right yep you get into situations where you end up chasing chasing the hits all right this is definitely getting toasty okay ready 450. you know i didn't see a splash on that one unfortunately okay okay got it uh it is one and a half target lengths left half a target length high okay again one and a half left half high [Applause] [Music] hmm there's an impact [Applause] didn't see that one there it is [Applause] it's starting to sweat cosmoline okay i've got 16 rounds left that should be ample oh yeah cartridges for sure i think you can clear it out in like four do it in 30. all right let's see we'll see let's see it betty 500. hmm not a man okay i'm just going to put one of these on me as well [Applause] i'm interested about seeing if we might switch over to the ipsec i don't know if that'll do anything different okay but it's better i think than just throwing rounds at the same target you can't really see where they're impacting on on the gong yeah no okay if you could see the ipsec we can move over there let's try it let's try the left dipstick yes impact it's actually easier for me to see the ipsec too because of the white the color i've got a lot more contrast on the ipsec yeah all right okay you're at the neck neck height about a full target to the right on that shot okay okay that was at his uh belly on the left edge okay that was good elevation a full target to the right [Applause] okay now that we've got to pull the target to the left your height's right right edge [Applause] 450 and 500 were where where trouble started right a lot of it had to do with the fact that i'm i'm having trouble calling the hits because of the um the mud that's out in the field instead of the dirt so unlike other iron sighted rifles where we might just be able to walk it in based upon one or two shots that are messes and walk it in that's part of what's going on so it's part of partly an observational issue for me i had trouble i'm not used to the german barleycorn sites if you look at the german sites the back is a v-notch and the front is an inverted v you put the two together slice it and that's it so how do you how do you manage your windage i was i'm look i was never trained on this i never joined the via max i never fought the soviets to me they're difficult for me to use because with the with a normal uh u-notch and post yeah you're able to use that flat post to favor left to right yes and that's that's actually and you generally have light on either side of the at least on nice at least on nice sights right that comes through on either side of the post so you have an ability to say okay i know how i know which way i'm favoring left or right so i mean i don't think it's impossible to shoot these types of sights i mean i'm just not familiar with them yeah two things first i'm not familiar with the sights second of all that 500 yard side being right in front of that dirt splash right there it's a it's very difficult for me to one focus on the sight but then get any good contrast yeah the contrast was tough so i'm glad we did decide to move over to the ipsec right i was able to contrast the the sights against the targets much better however in actual combat unless you're shooting at a medic which is a very bad thing to do thank you for that clarification right take a mauser and you flip the sights open on the base you can see that it's got it's got the um the graduation on the base that's for soldiers if they're in the trench and they're trying to arrange a target they could flip it up adjust the sights looking at it from the base and then pop it back opposed to having to stick their head up pull the gun down looking at the sides from the top it's a formidable rifle it's a formidable weapon until we get some glass this will have to do indeed until we get some glass on it josh until then [Music] eight packs red con one green and green [Applause] up
