	I just won an auction for an Original Haenel Aydt rifle. I have a question about the sights. The rifle appears to have the original barrel and tang sights. My question is what distances are the sights capable of being regulated? I have read some confusing information on the subject.

	Not having seen the particular sight on your new rifle, and based on my not all that extensive experience with German and Swiss schuetzen rifles, all of the ones I've seen and shot have had sufficient travel to easily get you out to 200 meters with a decent load. YMMV

	I've never really trusted Smokey the Bear. Everytime I see him I wonder what happened to the Boy Scout that was orginally wearing that hat.

	Typically distances were 175m (Stand Target) and 300m (Field Target). So if your ballistics are the same it should be able to go out to 300m. With my load I find turning it down to the lowest setting works well for 100 yards. There are no clicks or scales on it so bring a caliper to record the height and write it down after.

	Nice case colors. And you even got the saddle sight! (usually long gone).
