Anschutz sights on 7.62mm riffle?

Hello everyone.
I am about to shoot in a 300m match which is very important for me.I have a Steyr Mannlicher SPG which has Anschutz sight rails.I was wondering if I could use my Anschutz sights because they have the cant advantage over the Steyr ones.I cant the riffle in both prone and standing positions.
Do you thing that to much recoil could harm 0.22 sights?
Thank you.

Not sure about the Anschutz sights, but check to see which sight Bleiker uses on their rifles. I know they are adjustable for cant.

The problem is that I cannot afford for a Bleiker sight set.
On the other hand,I already have Anschutz sights...

I think the sights will be OK, But I think you may have a problem if you have a variable iris on them which is designed for a smallbore rifle.You could try e-mailing Anschutz and asking. Colin

I have various iruses, dioplers, made by Gehman and Anshutz that I use on my smallbore rifles and .308 Palma rifle. I have heard that they can screw up from the recoil, but I have had no problem myself in several years using them.
