What do you think of the lee enfield sights?
Any consensus on which enfield sight is the best? Flip up fans, micrometer fans, speak up!
And if you hate the sights on those things, say it loud |

Windage adjustment in the #4 peep would be nice.
Some hunters say the big, square slider blocks too much of the target, but I'm comfortable with it. My buddy wants a sliding stamped sight because there are a lot of clicks when going from 100 to 500 yds. I'll take the perceived more precise adjustment of the micrometers.

It's a personal preference on what style of sights you like or shoot best with. I prefer the peep on the No4 rifles much more than the forward mounted sights on the No1 rifles. The longer sight radius is generally more accurate.
The No4 had many styles. Then there is the after market sights for the No4. |

Compared to my Yugo Mauser, any Enfield with an adjustable aperture rear sight is a dream come true.

And the front sight is adjustable for windage, but requires the use of a special type of spanner to loosen the set screw.

A car tire valve tool will work as well. Its frequently not a tough as the home brewed version though.
I think saying the front sight on an Enfield is "windage adjustable" is a bit of an exaggeration though. It can be moved laterally to zero the rifle, but just imagine trying to make adjustments in the field with a 5~15 MPH wind gusting & backing!

By time you have it moved the wind has changed. I would say 99% of my LE shooting is done at 100yds. I need to try one when I go to the desert and practice long range. I'll see if the T can hit anything at 400yds. |
