Mine shot 8 inches high at 100 yards

I took the rear sight out of the base, and milled .0488 off the bottom. It now shoots the X ring at 100 yards while the sight is set on the 100 meter mark.

For the Mosin 91/30 each movement (or removal) of .0061 moves the impact 1 MOA.

So if it shoots high, take off the bottom of the sight slider so it comes down more on the sight base.

If its shooting low (not many Mosins do) you take .0061 per inch you want it moved.
