Sights should not be installed on a movable object like a bolt. Just way too much movement involved. Something on the order of the first post would work. You might try mounting a peep sight on one of those inexpensive scope mounts that they make for the mosin. If I were to install one, I would get a bolt with a bent handle and mount the peep as far back as I could. The peep should be a lot more solid than a scope on one of those mounts. Be sure to get an adjustable peep sight.
