The Vickers iron sight challenge from the 2015 Snipers hide cup

[J996]

Well done Larry!

And yes the cheek piece has to be removed to use the emergency sights on an AI.

 

[6MT]

Pretty cool!

 

[supernova]

Thats impressive. The rifle, the shooting.

What rifle is out there that one could set up open sights on it?

Other than AI......

The above are all provided with back up iron sights.

Larry had the advantage. He's used the L96 before. Not to mention the fact he's retired SOFD-D and has forgotten more about external ballistics than most people will ever learn. The man knows how to put the pill on target.

Thanx J996.

How much adjustment does the AI iron sight allow? Windage?

Did I miss something? He didn't seem to adjust his sight for the last 2 shots, 500 and 600 meters? Does the sight not adjust further so he just held over?

Actually the AI Iron sights start at 100m. But the first target was at 200m, the next at 300m, then 400m the last two were at the approximate same distance of 500m so he only had to reset his sights three times.

That's some damn good shooting, especially considering that out of the 236 competitors at the 2015 SHC, only one was able to clean this challenge (if I remember correctly).

 

[kombayotch]

I heard that only Larry cleaned it.
