There is a big difference in
meters to yards and yards to meters at longer ranges, so if you have different
sight settings in those measurements it may be necessary to adjust to the
differences.
The vast majority of European made firearms are
in metric and American and English
firearms are in yardage measurements.
Meters = Yards
Yards = Meters
25 = 27
50 = 54
75 = 82
100 = 109
100 = 91
150 = 164
200 = 218
200 = 182
300 = 328
300 = 274
385 = 421
400 = 437
400 = 365
500 = 546
500 = 457
600 = 656
600 = 548
700 = 765
700 = 640
800 = 874
800 = 731
900 = 984
900 = 822
1000 = 1093
1000 = 914
Exceptions ...
The Imperial Russian Model
1891 Mosin-Nagants were in arshins which was about 71.1 cm. or 0.78 yards (27.95
inches long), so here is a chart of the distances in these ....
Arshins = Meters = Yards
200 = 142 = 155
400 = 284 = 311
600 = 426 = 466
800 = 568 = 621
1000 = 710 = 776
1200 = 852 = 932
1300 = 923 = 1009
1400 = 994 = 1087
1500 = 1065 = 1165
1600 = 1136 = 1242
1700 = 1207 = 1320
1800 = 1278 = 1398
1900 = 1349 = 1475
2000 = 1420 = 1553
2100 = 1491 = 1631
2200 = 1562 = 1708
2300 = 1633 = 1786
2400 = 1704 = 1864
2500 = 1775 = 1941
2600 = 1846 = 2019
2700 = 1917 = 2096
2800 = 1988 = 2174
2900 = 2059 = 2252
3000 = 2130 = 2329
3100 = 2201 = 2407
3200 = 2272 = 2485
Another is the
Austro-Hungarian Models 1888, 1890 and 1895, these were is Schrittens which was
0.75 meter or 29.5275 inch. In 1930 when both the Austrians and Hungarians
adopted the 8 x 56R mm cartridge they did change many of these sights to this
new caliber to metric however not all of them did, many of these rifles that
were sent to Bulgaria were left in schritten, these sights are easy to tell as
when the rear sight leaf when folded down has a 5 mark on the left side, if it
is in metric it will have a 3 mark. So here is a chart of the distances in
these ...
Schritten = Meters = Yards
300 = 225 = 246
500 = 375 = 410
600 = 450 = 492
800 = 600 = 656
