Just hardstand tested it offline. It zeros about 400, LoS is down angled. 1000yards is doable. It's a iron ring sight. Not a optical collimator gunsight. Which B-26 were mounted with like the A-20G strafe series.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.
