My wonderful wife bought a model 44 mosin-nagant for my birthday about two years ago and I recently put a Mojo rear sight on it due to the fact that it was shooting about 18" high at 100 yds with the rear sight lowered all the way.
I took it to the range this weekend to see if I could get it closer and here is how it went.
1- firing from a prone position at 50yds. just to get it on paper. Took me 3 rounds to get it shooting at about POA (elevation was dead on, windage was about 2" right).
2- Go back to 100yds off a rest and it was shooting completely (high) off the paper again (Outers 100 yd small bore rifle). I cranked the Mojo down until it is almost bottomed out and it was still shooting wwaayyy high.
I assumed that it would print higher at 100yds. versus 50, but I didn't see it shooting that much different. Anybody have any ideas, or am I really that bad of a shot?
Thanks,
