What was the acceptable accuracy test. Yardage, target size, grouping?
What was the point of aim test, did the hold on center, 6 Oclock

Was there a method to "zero" the gun.

I have another newbie telling me his manual says they where zero'd @ 300 meters.
What he was describeing sounded more like the balistics of the bullet flight.
What he was saying sounded more like the manual says the bullet crosses the barrels horizontal line @ 300 meters
Hi mac1911! The Mosin was born for the battle and not for the precision shooting; that must be always remembered. Is a rifle which shoots better on the mid-long distances (i.e. 200 or 300 yards) and that also because often it tends to shoot high. It is not an easy rifle to shoot. Setting it you have to consider which sort of ammo are you shooting, especially when you re-load your ammo – different bullets weight and/or different quantity of powder change the point of impact. Anyway, please, don’t touch the front sight! Again, what written by Homer2 is also right. So now have a nice time shooting and discovering your Mosin!
