The rear sight on the Gew98 is graduated to 400 yards, which was supposed to be roughly the firing line engagement distance for German infantry tactics in 1914. So you gotta aim well under your target in order to hit center at 100 yards.I always aim low with all of my military rifles -- they are all sighted out to a minimum of 200 meters/yards and thus all shoot high. This one wasn't any exception. So far I've found that out of all of my rifles, my Gew 88 appears to be sighted the highest.
Here's a new shooting video for you all, featuring some Mosins, Schmidt-Rubin 1896, and even an MG42!
