Just a check, though, on one idea. By "open sight" you mean a Patridge-type blade and post set. Is that correct? ("open" as opposed to "aperture")
I ask because that is an unusual and less precise type of sight for rifle competition.

No Sir, in compitition open sights, meaning iron sights, apeture or patridge. In ISU, Small Bore, High Power Rifle, open sights mean you dont use scopes, aim points ETC.
Some shooting sports do state what type of sights, CowBoy Action is one, but Service rifle is a better example, Service rifle rules state the sights issued with the rifle. In our case (USA) its the sights that come on the service rifle, the peep rear and post front, (carefull, they do allow match sights but they still look like the service rifle sights.
So when someone says OPEN SIGHTS, they met to exclude scopes, aim points, etc.
