I also want to add, that there is a reason the MN shoots high. You have to remember these weapons were issued to farmers, peasants, you know common folk. The red army taught BELT BUCKLE MOA. Meaning no matter what range aim for the belt buckle. The Mosin sights were set up to shoot high right out of the factory. There are other WWII era rifles that are way better in terms of quality, etc. But the old battleaxe was built fast and cheap, and it did the job. At first (due to lack of rifles) some red army soldiers were only issued a uniform, and ammo, the intent was to pick up a rifle from a fallen comrade and carry forward. Sorry to go off on a Mosin history rant, but that is the whole reason I love C&R's is the history behind all of them.
