The rear sight of the SVT is of Mauser leaf gradient design and is very similar
to the rear sight on the SKS. The rear sight ranges in distance from 100 to 1500
meters graduated in 100 meter increments.
The hooded front post sight looks just like the Mosin-Nagant front sights,
but can be adjusted for elevation by screwing the post in our out. Windage is
also adjusted via the front sight by drifting the sight's dovetail left or
right.
Safety
The rifle's safety is simple enough to operate: It is flipped up to the right to
"fire" position.
