How precise are the Mosin Nagant's elevation adjustments?
I know that every mosin is just a little different, but generally speaking how accurate are the elevation adjustments on the rear sight of the 91/30 specifically? So I.e. if you set them to 1000m and you were somehow able to see your target without a scope, would the bullet impact anywhere near where you were aiming? I don't even really get why the russians made it adjustable to out past say 600 meters, never mind 2000, did they really expect soldiers to be using iron sights out to 2000m?

I've only shot mine to 400 yards (longest my personal range goes).
Once I got the sight adjusted where it hits at 100 yards when it's set on the 100 mark, its on at 200, 300 and 400. Maybe this spring I'll take it out and see how it works at farther distances.

I believe the M91-30's iron sight P.O.I. were made to have with the bayonet attached; though I've never shot mine with the bayonet spike attached. You can add a piece of shrink tubing on the front sight post to make it shoot lower.
