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

What do you think of the lee enfield sights?

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.

NOt a fan of No. 4 MKI or MKII sights but they are usabel. I relley like the sights on No.1 MK III.

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.

You can make a front sight screw tool from a allen-head tip for a magnetic screwdriver. I think I used a 5/32 bit, cut a slot in the face using a dremel cut-off wheel. It has removed some very stubborn screws.
Second row from top, third in from the right.
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!

That created a funny picture in my mind, adjusting for windage
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.
