Bore Sighting
Bore sighting is a preliminary procedure to achieve proper
alignment of the scope with the rifle’s bore. Initial bore sighting of
the riflescope will decrease the amount of time and ammunition
you need to use at the range.
This can be done by using a mechanical or laser bore sighter
according to the manufacturer’s instructions or by removing the
bolt and sighting through the barrel on some rifles.
TO BORE SIGHT YOUR RIFLESCOPE:
1. Place the rifle solidly on a rest and remove the bolt.
2. Sight through the bore at a target approximately 100 yards
away.
3. Move the rifle and the rest until the target is visually centered
inside the barrel.
4. With the target centered in the bore, make windage and
elevation adjustments until the reticle crosshair is also
centered over the target.
Note - If a laser bore sighting or any other similar device inside the bore
was used, it must be removed before firing. An obstructed bore can cause
serious damage to the gun and possible injury to the shooter.
TO ZERO THE SCOPE:
1. Start sight-in process from 25 yards, from solid rest fire 3-shot group, ensuring that
you fire at same spot each time. Use grid lines on target to center and level your
crosshairs.
2. After the first 3-shot group, make adjustments to bring bullet impact to center of target
you’re shooting at. Repeat this process at 100 yards and you will have accurate 100
yard zero.
Note - Scope graduations are 1 MOA. Scope turrets are marked with direction of bullet impact change.
At 100 yards a 1 MOA scope adjustment will move bullet impact 1 inch in direction adjusted. At 25
yards that same 1 MOA adjustment will be 4 times smaller, so 1 MOA adjustment at 25 yards will move
bullet impact 1/4 of an inch.
