Your front sight has to go to the left, a brass punch and a small hammer will get it over enough to make it work.

When I have a rifle that shoots one way or another, I just aim the opposite way. 
Krummlauf...
For those of you that didn't know, the krummlauf was a German invention that allowed the soldier to basically "shoot around the corner". It was a barrel extension bent at a 30+ degree angle. I believe it was designed for the STG44, but may have also been adapted to the K98.

I once made a sight pusher from a C clamp. Each end of the clamp has a little wobbly foot. I kocked one of these off so it could engage the sight and use the wobbly part to engage the barrel. It worked on some guns. Better than a hammer and drift.
happy - a handy thing in your shoting kit is a bottle of "White Out", the stuff we used to corect typing errors with typewriters.
It can be used to paint refernce lines on sights before they are moved. As the sight is moved, you will see the break line on the white blob and cana ccuratly see how much it moved. When all is done, it scrapes off with a fingernail.
I have a bottle in teh shop and have used it ob all the dovetails ights that need moving, plus ona ctions crews so I can see if they start to back out. Also use it on some pistol front sights to enhance visability.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try.

I use an SKS/AK sight adjustment tool for adjusting the front sight, works great. It allows for more minute adjustments than the ole 'hammer and punch' method. I believe Marstar sell them still.

Feed some high quality scnapps into the magazine prior to firing. Repeat the process often, and tell your rifle to concentrate on the fuzzy image in the middle, while ignoring the really blurry images to the right and left.
