No explanation is necessary... Powdercrank has it all figured out... the rear sight moves in the direction noted to compensate for bullet impact movement at the long ranges...
It is a little disconcerting at first... that is, until you use the rear sight with a shoulder stock. It will quickly become apparent that this design feature is not a mistake by observing how close the impact is to the point of aim with this unusual sight picture... This is an incredible design that is 90 years old!
