I'm no smith, so others will undoubtedly have better ideas or suggestions, but here are my thoughts.

Assuming your technique of shooting is good (I'm sure it is), there are two alternatives which I can see. The first is to get a higher front sight which will ruin collector value in all likelihood. The second is to install a second set of rear sights (keeping the originals to reinstall for collector's sake). You, as you indicate you already know, want the rear sight to go in the direction of the bullet, i.e., down. If the sights won't adjust far enough, you can remove metal from them until the 240 bullets strike the desired point. I did this with a Mark I Ruger .22 and it works. Take off a little at a time and try it until you get it right. I put some cold blue on the sights afterwards and everything looks okay.

Hope this helps.
