Nice useless post. Cabelas wouldn't have tall front sight for a milsurp 98.
Tradex used to have some Swede 96 front sights, that were taller than the OEM 98 that was able to get the POI down some on my 762 Isreali. Other than that, only seen them at Brownells. Could get someone to tig weld ontop of the sight and file it down to POI..
If you can find a front sight from an M95 Straight Pull carbine length barrel, it will be the perfect height for you K98 to bring the POI to POA.
Numrich might have them or you can ask a local gunsmith.
This is an issue that has plagued shooters of K98 and other milsurps for decades.
These rifles weren't intended for pinpoint accuracy at the normal 100yd ranges we mostly shoot at.
The rifles are zeroed appx 6-8 inches hight at 100yds to have a 250-300yd zero, which is just fine for use in the battlefield, with troops trained for this.
Your only other option is to modify the original sight, which often turns out be be fugly.

That would be the bottom of the page for most 12 inch circular targets.
