Cooey (Winchester) Model 39 Shooting High

[Caperkid]

I have a Cooey (Winchester) Model 39 .22 Cal. Single Shot rifle made at Cobourg Ontario, Canada about 1970.

It is shooting about 2 1/2 inches high at 30 yards.

The elevation on the rear sight is on the lowest notch.

Question(s): 1) Is this normal?
2) What is the normal range for sighting in this rifle?
3) What can be done to further drop the grouping?

Thanks to all!

Take a finer bead.

If most of your shots are within 25 yards, get a taller front sight. You can also try different ammunition that may shoot more to the point of aim.
