If you're not already, double up on your hearing protection. Some people experience noise as "recoil" and it can quickly induce a bad flinch.
You say you're seeing the front sight dip as you press the trigger. That is great (that you see it, not that it's happening, of course). Take away the target and just fire slowly at the berm, watching your sight. Does the dip/flinch go away?
Another thing you can try -- odd as it sounds -- is to aim the gun then close your eyes and keep them closed until after you break the shot. This gets you used to the gun going off, moving around, etc. without any visual anticipation. A big part of flinching is simply an unconscious reaction to the big boom and pressure wave. As you get more accustomed to that, a flinch may sort itself out with just a little effort.
