Do they still offer this detail on new sights? 

The only sights I have with the feature are old Remington sights.

My tang sights are also graduated in minutes.  I even have 1 with half minutes!

The numbers on the slider to the left. Most sights just have the marks. 
My original Soule has a 0 at the bottom and a 5 at the top of the slider.

I have only seen this on the old Remingtons.
This is the Remington Hepburn Long Range Vernier sight with similar markings of 60 graduations per inch compared to new sights having 100 graduations per inch.

On the old Parts Unknown sight the one with the adjusting screw inside the staff it has the five divisions on the slide dividing the five point lines on the staff into five single points.  It also has a scale on the center screw that divides those single points into tenths of a point.  A feature I really like about the sight is the staff and slide are marked on both sides so the rifle can be tipped to either side to read and adjust the sight.  Too bad those are no longer available as they were a high quality sight and when they were available they were at a bargain price compared to other quality sights.  Sure would like to find one, hint hint !
