ultra7350 21 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I got my Chaos HK sights in today and have a question about them. What do the settings on the rear sight mean? I guess that each of the numbers designate a particular range, but I am not familiar with HK sights. Could someone please tell me what the numbers on the rear sight signify?

Fallschirmjager667 729 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 im pretty sure on regular hk sights the adjustments are in hundreds of meters, chaos sights are probably the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ultra7350 21 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 It has 1-4 settings. I guess I will leave it on setting 1 since I don't plan on shooting past 100 meters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 You are correct. I think most folks leave them on 1 for shotguns, but see where the rounds are hitting and if elevation is needed, use whatever setting works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kylsix 2 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Those don't effect range at all. They are simply to allow for better sight picture in low-light or with eye-pro, as well as the smaller peep holes allow for a tighter sight picture, thus tighter shot groupings (accuracy). All of those are pretty irrelevant on a shotgun, even slugs and discarding sabot rounds aren't accurate enough to warrant strict zero on a shotgun, I would set it to which ever setting you like the most and adjust your front sight for that one. *EDIT: My only experience with the HK sights is on issue MP5s - I'm not sure the exact same sights are used, but HK sights are generally 4 different sized holes.
