My recent manufacture Miroku 1895 30-40 Krag is great, but it shoots very high. With the buckhorn rear sight set in the lowest notch and trying a dozen different loads from 150 to 200 grains with various charges up to Nosler and Hodgdon published maximums, groups print anywhere from 6" to 12" high at 100 yards. I can hold low, but I'd sure like to find a deer load that can use the sight as intended. Another Miroku 1895 in 30-06 that I own, somewhat older, does not have this problem. Comparing the front sights, I can find no discernable difference in blade height or shape and the rear buckhorn appears identical on both. Both rifles have 24" barrels. Anyone else have this problem and if so, how did you correct it?
