Got me a Kar98K

[André]

I got hold of a nice 1941 Gustloff in VG state and with a sparkling barrel.




This being my 1st. 8x57 JS, I still have to buy dies, bullets and assorted accessories. Nonetheless, I couldn't postpose test-firing and the only factory ammo I could lay hands on was Sellier & Bellot 196 FMJ (a brand I'm no fan of). Anyway, I went to the range and with sight ladder at 100, I found out it grouped 5-6" high at 50 meters and 11" at 100 m (my first shots went over the target and I had to aim under the bottom of the target holder to bring my shots on paper). Could it be that my sights are regulated with the lighter 154 "Spitzer" bullet ? Otherwise, I might consider a higher front sight.
