Mosin Nagant Question
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? |

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. |
