Need help please

Hi, newbie here to the Enfield. I plan on using it for deer hunting this year in Pa. My rifle has a flip rear sight with a large hole and a small hole. I'm wondering what for rear sight i should get to hunt with. My ranges will be 50-300 yds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Agreed, the flip large is zeroed for 300yds with Mk VII 174Gr ball. If you're using anything else its a bit of a crap shoot, you'll have to work out your own drop tables though.

Personally I don't hunt, but I've found out that a 180 Gr SP is close enough for government work at any sane hunting range (under 300 yds).

The small is 600 yds so you'd have to aim off way low.

If it were me I'd get a Stamped Mk4 The one with the lever curving INWARDS. There's another version curving outwards but it was well known for snagging on things & changing the range unbeknownst to the shooter, & its accompanying spacer. (There's also one with a stamped elevator, but a cast base, you won't need the spacer for that if you can find one).

The peep is about the same as the "L" & it lets you quickly dial in for longer ranges with the slider whilst giving you a better 200yd zero!.

IMO its the best balance between the very basic simple "L" & the Singer micrometer with its bunches of clicks. You just squeeze, slide & release in 100 yd increments!

Isn't there one of these sights with adjustable windage as well? I think I have seen one.

In my opinion, windage adjustment on open sights for hunting is kind of useless, unless we're talking Kentucky Windage! Now if you need left/right adjustment to zero in a rifle at the range prior to hunting season it might be handy, but you can move the front sight in Lee Enfields to accomplish the same thing. Again, just my opinion.

I simplified my rear sight by removing the battle sight part of it.

This allows me to fold the peep sight down and out of the way when the scope is in use. The large ghost ring helps to maintaining target acquisition while the intended target is in motion in my honest opinion...

The sights in the above photo are the factory issued sights.

The sight you are referring to with the windage adjustment is an aftermarket setup...

P-H4 post war production and was only made for about two or three years before Parker Hale drew inspiration from the AJ Parker 4/47 and made the P-H5c.

Sadly they come with a collectors price tag these days and regularly fetch £300 ($335) in good condition.

Strangely Brown, Thanks for your tip-off! Didn't realize that these had any value. Now removed from my junk box!
