Pizza Bob 1,489 Posted August 29, 2012 Bolt action? Do it yourself - no special equipment needed. I do this in my basement where I have an unobstructed run of 25 feet or so. Post a large target. Support the rifle - sandbags preferrably. Remove the bolt. Put the cross hairs of the scope on the center of the target. Get behind the rifle and look down the bore - what you see is appx where the POI would be. Adjust the scope until the sight picture and the view through the bore coincide. This should put you on the paper at 25 yards. Make fine adjutments from there, using live ammo and ultimately moving the target to the desired range.

GRIZ 3,369 Posted August 31, 2012 I've done as Bob explained for years. Never found a need to buy a boresighter or take it to anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shocker 151 Posted August 31, 2012 That's how I've done it too. Works for AR's too (remove BCG) and shotguns with cantilever sights.I usually go to a window and use a stop sign a few hundred yards away since my range only has 100yd targets though. Walking it back from 25 would be easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted August 31, 2012 I've done it as well. But I've had laser boresights for years and they are a little quicker. Not expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJKen 23 Posted September 6, 2012 Pizza Bob's method, a couple of boxes of ammo, and a set of sand bags = a great day at the range, a properly sighted rifle, and a great feeling of personal satisfaction. Enjoy Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
