It doesn't make a lot of sense to give weapons without adjustable sights the bonus, or allow the bonus on unsighted shots and then require that you use the sights only if you have them. Besides there's definitely a benefit to correctly adjusting your sights on the firing range and there's no other bonus that represents this.

This sounds more like a Trick Shooter perk (GURPS Gun Fu p. 22).
