Like others have pointed out, Mosin sights were zeroed with the bayonet attached or extended. This isnt an "old wives tale"...it was actual Russian doctrine and has been verified.
The reason behind this is simple, Russian soldiers were instructed and expected to keep the bayonet on their rifles, attached or extended at all times.
Does that mean your gun will shoot better with the bayo? Maybe, maybe not.....it really depends on the ammo you choose.
