At the rifle range Friday another 91/30 shooter told me that the initial sighting from the factory was done with fixed bayonet. He suggested that shooting with the bayonet attached might give me a truer sight picture.
Now, I understand that I've only shot this rifle twice and will take all of the responsibilty in not being as accurate as I hope to become based on my current level of training and experience. This is not a "it's my rifle's fault I can't shoot a dime at 100 yards" post.
This does raise a couple questions though.
First, does this claim have any merit at all or was someone blowing smoke?
Second, is there a standard etiquette regarding bayonets at a public rifle range?
