Hi everyone!

I took my newely bought chilean Mauser (Steyr m1912 rebarelled in 308 Win with a 2 groove barrel) to the range and I set the target at 60 meters. I shot 40 rounds of 145 Gr FMJ and I have noticed that the rifle shoots low (about 6 inches between POA and POI). The groups where good and centered.

Being new to the Milsurp scene I want to ask you guys if this kind of result is normal and I want to know if the sights are designed for 308 or for the original caliber (7 mm Mauser).

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Thank You!
 
Did you try it at 100yds yet?
What is the lowest sight setting? 100, 200, 300? you should try it at that distance to see whether you need a sub six hold. Most military sights use a sub 6 o'clock hold.

Sights most likely regulated for whatever 7x57 loading and bullet weight Chile specified when they bought the rifles.
