So here's my zero, confirmed it to 200 yds. It's not far from falling off the side. The rear sights look normal and centered. I don't mind the front sight post being installed off centered but I would prefer the post to stand straight, though I know this kind of thing is common. Am I doing something wrong here?
Edit: she shoots great. I've only shot a few 91/30s but this one is the best. 1.5-2" groups at 50 yds and sub 5.5" groups at 200 yds. Though I need more trigger time.
Is this windage normal?

Bayonet on or off at the range?
Reason I ask is because Russian M91/30s were sighted in with bayonets attached. Most 91/30s I’ve shot without the bayonet patterned high and a fair bit to the right. Judging by your adjustment, you saw something similar with your rifle.

No, that is not normal for all 91/30's, just this one. They set the sight where it had to be for the rifle to shoot straight with the bayonet mounted.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Is this windage normal?
Thank y'all. I don't desire shooting with a bayonet attached so I'll figure something out or loctite it.
