The Savage .22/.410 combo gun is intended for small game. The lower barrel is not intended for slugs, and thus is not really regulated for the sights. (.410 slugs are notoriously inaccurate to begin with, and not very effective on target, either).

More important than the slug performance is the way the barrel patterns with birdshot. If it is centering the pattern that far off at 12 yards, it should be returned to Savage or taken to a gunsmith who knows how to re-pattern shotguns.

Sight the iron sights in for the .22, and plan on using the .410 barrel with shot. There will not be enough sight adjustment to correct the p.o.i. for the lower barrel.

The front sight can be carefully filed down to raise the point of impact. This, of course, should be done a little bit at a time till the gun shoots where aimed.

How to Sight in a mosin nagant with iron sights?

It depends on the model you have. With the M44, your bayonet has to be extened to achieve maximum accuracy, it dampens barrel vibrations and the Russians sighted them in with the bayonets out, so shooting with it retracted will cause it to shoot off center by a few inches. If you are trying to adjust windage ( and this goes for all rifles), you need to drift the front sight over to the left or the right, depending on how bad your shots are off center. Example, if your shots are hitting 4 inches to the left, move your front sight over to the left, which causes your body to move the rifle more to the right to line up the sight picture, which also brings your shots more right. Its easy. It shoots left, adjust sight to the left, shoots right, move front sight to the right. This is opposite on pistols where the windage adjustment is actually the rear sight rather the front sight. Moving the front sight for windage by as much as 1-2mm is enough to chance the shot placement by 2 or 3 inches at about 100 yards or meters. If your mosin is shooting too high, aim a few inches lower, doesn't take much. I find if I aim right at the bottom line of the bullseye my shots will be dead center, however if I aim for the center of the bullseye the shots place about 2 inches too high. Before you go messing with the front sight, have several others try out the rifle. If you are jerking the trigger (its easy to do even if you "think" you aren't doing it), by the time the trigger releases and fires the weapon you have flinched, causing you to move the barrel off target.

I only own 2 mosin variants, but my knowledge of them is very very high. From simple problems they sometimes have, to their history, or safety concerns. -tom

Where do you find a rear sight for a savage model 101?

The only listing I have for a Savage 101 is a single shot 22 pistol. That has been out of production for years, but the rear sight is a simple dovetail V notch that a competent gunsmith could fit. If you are asking about a rifle, please check the model number, and check with Customer Service for Savage, and check gunpartscorp website.
