6 o'clock hold
I was watching some YouTube vids and was informed the M39 Finnish was to have the 6 o'clock hold used all the time and the K31 used the 6 0'clock hold only at 200 meters and beyond.
Does anyone know if the Soviet Mosins were designed for the 6 o'clock hold? What about the Vz. 24?

More like 6:30. My two 91/30s hit about 6 inches high at 100 yards, the M44 about 4 inches high (couldn't tell any difference with the bayonet folded or extended) and the Vz.24 in 7mm is also about 6 inches high. I don't know where the K31 hits, I need to take it out and shoot it one of these days.

Thanks, wish my Vz. 24 was in 7mm. That's my favorite caliber.
Do you know if they left the wing sight protector on in action? Someone said it gave an aperture effect. I find them annoying and take it off. It doesn't interfere with the bayonet but seems hokey being held on by a screw. I lost my Mauser book or have it stored somewhere (probably shredded by rats). |

No, the 7mm Brno version doesn't have the sight protector. I put one on mine just for looks, but it really doesn't belong there.

I use 6 o'clock hold with both of my Mosins.

I have found most, but certainly not all, bolt action military rifles shoot high at the distance and tangent sight graduations, i.e. firing at 200 meters, with the sight at 200 meters. In all honesty, I have not tested this beyond 300 yards. My Club range only goes out to that distance. However this is not a universal rule because of the differences in ammo, sights and guns. My experience is a military rifle will usually shoot pretty much POA for a known range or will shoot high. Almost never will a military rifle shoot low with congruent range distance and sight settings. The only way to know is to test the individual rifle/ammo combination at different distances.

try this
Get a laser bore sighting device, the kind that goes in the chamber like the bullet does. After that tells you what's up, sight in the gun properly. IMO, each shooter will have a unique sight picture for each gun.
For Mosin rifles, here's the one. |
