1. The sight reticle is useable but very.. very weird, especially for those times when you aren't doing patient aiming and are in stressful combat, it can be very hard to acquire targets.

2. The forward optic cover flops around, it's quite funny but distracting.

Imo as long as the sight is completely authentic you just have to accept it. But i noticed that for the french sniper rifle this specific sight is very noticeably misaligned. Maybe even for the french marksman rifle (the same one you are talking about) but i didn't check that one.

yeah it was tough to learn but within a couple minutes I found out how to use it.
still can be hard to acquire targets in stressed situations since the horizontal lines are a bit thin, so in bushes or spupression you can't really find the center.

generally in optics when you are suppressed or in dark area, the location where vertical meets horizontal is the center, but this isn't the case and thus it's tough to quickly acquire targets when the optic isn't clear

anyways it's completely fine,

the optic cover on the other hand.. is the only weapon wtih such a visible jigglebone and i think it's hilarious.
