When i got my mosin a few months ago at cabelas i took it to the range and even at 50 yards hit nothing. I got one of the cartridge laser bore sights and the beam came out all funky. I did some reading and took some of the rifle apart and cleaned the living crap out of it. Then i went a step further floating the barrel and cleaning up the metal. During the process i broke the rear sight. So thinking ill just add a scope i bought a mount from ebay and cleaned up the original rear sight mount. Well the laser now comes perfect down the front sight and no where close on the scope. So since its a good looker and im planning on a r700 for hunting in the future are there any rear sights like the original that will slide on the rail? I ground the pins down from the original cause they were not coming out.

Try these,

They seem to have good reviews, i don t have personal experience though.

I spend the $99 for a new one. There are tons out there that will hit where you aim.

IMHO, you do not fix mosins, you replace them. Check out Bud's Gunshop, online.

For $139, you can get one in excellent (90-to-100%) condition. Mine was damn close to 100% and had never been fired other than sighting it in at the factory. My gutt says it was probably never issued. The $40 difference is one trip to the range and it shoots like a dream.

Well i stopped by eb sportsman today and got another mosin i tore down my other one to sporterize it

I love my Mojo peep.Way better than that little nick on the stock rear sight. Also have the front one but havent installed it, not sure about doing that one. And on top of the Mojo is a Brass Stacker mount for the scope.The peep is only good to 100 yds in this configuration but it is a buis, something I prefer.. Unfortunatly the gremlins got into my scope after all last year, held zero for long time but now the scope is in trouble but the mount is still solid.

If you remove the rear scoop base (held on by 2 pins that have to be drifted out) it will reveal a 1/8" dovetail (same as 22's) you can the install a 1/8" scope base or 3/8" dovetail to weaver base and then attach a long eye relief scope. As far as I know only 91/30's have this dovetail. Attached is a pic of mine
