You want to move the front sight in the OPPOSITE direction that you want the bullet to go.If it is a 91/30 or M44 the front sight should drift right or left unless it is already moved as far as it will without falling off. In my experience you may need to get medieval on it to get it to budge! If it is striking the target too far right, drift the front sight right to move the strike left. To lower the impact you need to raise the front sight. In the MN world this means adding a taller front sight. You might find one someplace to buy, but most folks just improvise by using heat shrink tubing or other tubular object that is the correct length for the distance you are shooting.
Is that statement a question? Yes I choose different words but front sight moved opposite of desired movement of bullet strike (i.e. if your shooting right move the front sight right to move bullet impact left.
Try privi ammo also if its a outdoor range take wind into account. Adding a scope might make it worse if you can't adjust it. Try to find a new front dovetail sight or try adujusting it or adjusting the rear sight.I took the Mosin out to the range today and at 50 yards it was shooting about 3.5" high and about 2.5-3" to the right. From what I have seen online that is pretty common, but what can I do to rectify this besides adding a scope?
Thanks!
Aim low left. FIFY
even if you miss you can still stab the target at 50 yards
Someone whould make a need sport.Never tried using a Mosin as a throwing spear, I'll have to give that a try sometime! lolz
