You sight it like any other opensight rifle, BUT most are sighted high at 100 meters and require what's known as the "6 o'clock hold" where the tip of the front sight blade is aligned with the lowest part of the rear sight "V" groove in order to hit POA at 100 meters.

Heavier bullets tend to have a higher trajectory than lighter bullets. For example, an 8mm rifle may shoot to point of aim with 150 grain Romanian 7.9x57, but you may have to aim lower (like a 6 o'clock sight picture rather than dead on) with 196 grain German or Yugo 7.9x57.
