I purchased a mosin-nagant at one of the local gun shops and for some reason the first time that I took it out, at 50yds. it shoots almost 20in. high. I assume the front site post is too short, but I don't know how i can remedy this...
 
MN Shooting high

That thing will shoot somewhat high at 50 yards anyway, but not that high. Get a piece of small diameter shrink wrap tubing and stick it on the front post. Trim as needed get zeroed in.
 
thanks

Thank you I'll try that, i was thinking about soldering a small piece of wire on or something like that, but I don't know if the solder would hold...
 
that's awful high, but they do that, man. I have three. If i'm popping milk jugs with them at 30 yards, I need to practically aim at the bench they're sitting on. Those guns are made to reach out there! you see how high that rear sight goes :p :D
 
i was using an approx 2'x3' piece of plywood at 50 yards and i had to aim about 10" below the wood to hit the middle, so it might even be more than 20"
