My club is starting up an event for antique military rifles. After
hearing all of the rave reviews here and other places, I went out and
bought a Mosin Nagant 91/30 the other day. It seems to be in fairly
good condition and shoots reliably but is consistently about 8 or 9
inches high at 50 yards which is the distance for our event. The rear
sight is down all the way. The gun must be totally stock for the most
part - no scopes or replacement sights are allowed which sevely limits
the options.

One thing I was thinking about was cutting the notch in the rear sight
a little deeper. Any ideas on that or anything else?

Just raise the target 8.5 inches. :-)

The barrel must have taken on a banana shape

Can you make the post higher on the standard sight?

I found this one on Amazon but I don't know if it will pass muster
with the match inspectors:

When the elevation is off that much it's difficult to consistently aim
low by the correct amount.

I like his analysis based on sight radius. It's a nice simple
conceptual approach that's easy to remember and apply.

In my case the sight radius is 24 inches and the distance is 1800
inches. Using his formula to drop the point of impact by 8 inches, I
need to raise the front sight post by .1 inches or lower the rear
sight notch by the same amount. That's a significant amount and will
take some planning to do it right without screwing things up.

The iron sights on this rifle are set for 300 yards. When I was researching mine I found that little tidbit somewhere in my research. If I can again find the article I will link it here but it will not be until the weekend that I will have time to look. Anything less than 300 yards will be high.
