Adjust the rear sight for elevation, remember those numbers are in an old russian unit of measurement called arshins, close to a standard pace of around 28 inches.
For windage, you would have to drift the front sight. __________________

I didn't know that. I thought they were meters. Now that helps a lot. | |

I read somewhere they used to collect the ear wax from Russian soldiers to make their cosmoline. It must have taken at least 100 ofthem to coat my last Mosin. __________________

Wondering if anyone els has a reproduction scope that could give me a clue to why I can't zero it in. If anyone lives in Minnesota would love to go shooting some time. Im 26 and been into guns a little over a year now and need some good people to shoot with. | |

If I read this correctly your sayin' that the sight picture moves when you adjust the knobs? To sight in the PU, First you all your "major" adjustments at the scope base to get the correct sight picture, using shims and the elevation screws on the mount. The turrets are the "fine" adjustment... You use them to adjust your point of aim after you get the correct sight picture.
One of the later two links I posted were from a thread JonM did.. He has the book that tells how the soviets sighted in their Mosins... __________________

So took the mosin out again the other day. When shooting 100 yards it shoots 6inches high and 6inches to the left. But at 300 yards she was almost dead on. I don't kno if I should just leave the iron sights alone and just compensate for the 6inches up and left, or if I should try to sight it in. Any advice? | |

Just a note on the elevation markings: After the Russian revolution the Russians adopted meters as measurements. The model 91/30, M-38, M-44,which are the most common Mosin Nagants, by far, are all marked in meters. The only common Mosin Nagant you will find marked in Arshins will be the M-91. Many of the M-91s that were used by the Finnish government have both Meters and Arshin markings. __________________
