How to bore sight your rifle 

they should bring iron sights back to these hunting rifles

A laser bore sighter is like $7 on Amazon , I can do it in my home at 30 ft away without setting up a target etc outside , did this the other day and hit a 12 inch target at 100 yards the next day and made adjustments. But if u have a range already outside then u may as well do what he did! Plus it’s good information to know in a crisis situation or war situation … so thanks for the knowledge!

I like to use the corner of the target stand if I'm at the range. If im at home I use the corner edge of my neighbor's house across the street. Its bout 50 yards away .

The further away your bore sight target is, the more exact the process can be. But bore sighting can only be done with firearms where the bolt can be removed and you can see straight through the barrel. That lets lever actions, pumps actions, and standard hunting semi-autos out. Then it's laser or bore sighting tool that mounts on the end of the barrel time.

Been doing it that way for 40yrs. Easy and gets you very close. But now I use cartridge specific lasers since they are finally affordable.

Bore sighting has the potential to be very precise, especially when done at a longer distance. At my 100 yd target butt, I have an old car tire hanging on a post. Center it perfectly in the bore and you will see 3 rings. Make sure they are all concentric. Determine which way you need to move the reticle. But here's the thing. You must turn the dials the opposite way you want the bullet to go. You eventually learn this pretty fast. Using at least 100 yds distance and a round target that fills the bore, many times my first shot is within an inch or two of dead center @ 100 yds. Then, precise zeroing is easy. Thanks for the vid!

You actually need to go up and left, as you are moving your bore to the reticle when you dial, not moving the reticle to the bore. Always remember you are moving the bullet to your poa.

I never bore sight since I have to confirm anyways. Maybe I use a few extra rounds. But this got me thinking you could do this with an ar style upper without the bcg too, I think. Don’t know why I never put that together until now. Thanks for the video.

Did this on my cantilever shotgun barrel off the gun, bore sight it at 15 yard and just waiting for sabot ammo to hit the store before actually sighting at 50 yard

laser bore sighters are so so nice

Thanks for the good information.😊

True I'm an older fella but I think it's time to stop belittling each other cause we're from different generations. We live together here on God's green earth, we should pass enough Wisdom, knowledge, and skills that we can pass to the younger generation so that they may build a better world.

I do the same thing only at 100 yds and I’m usually 6” low and slightly left first shot

Easy peasy put laser in bore aim at target and use your adjusters up down left right move until the laser dot is in the middle of your cross hair right in the middle

Thanyou for that...moa.

I stopped doing this and switched to using a laser bore sight and the farthest wall in my house, even though it’s only like 15 yards if even it still gets my windage perfect and once you set up on 100 it’s not that far off you can be zeroed to 100 in like 2-3 shots, it’s saved me a ton of time and effort

I love this method they also have nifty little cartridges now that have a laser in them they work pretty good as well for cheap

Yes works with any bolt action rifle only

Very cool idea I never considered. Altho 6 rifles I have only 2 have removable bolts.

Or you can fire a round at the target then move your crosshairs to the hole

Yep that’s how I’ve don’t it for over 40yrs I just bought me one of those gizmos that goes into the end of the barrel to see how it does but I’ll prob end up throwing it back in the bag and doing it old school lol

I was first trained on the 1960's m16 long Vietnam Era and with plain iron sites and that skill and ability to site and calibrate the irons has been invaluable. It's heavy, it's clunky and going from that to the m16 a2 & a4 to the m4 carbine was a pleasure compared to my first training. Funny story, I was IDF SF and used to lose my weekends all the time in the beginning and once spent the weekend taking the screws out of the Vietnam Era butt that they put in to stop ppl hiding stuff in the little compartment. My dumb ass thought I'd find Vietnam Era stash to make the weekend stop dragging. I lost the next 3 weekends when they noticed everyone who was pulling guard duty or on punishment on base had loose screws where it should have been sealed lol

Just a tip: To make boresighting easyer get a caliber specific laser bullet. And it is way faster and easyer

This also works on AR-15 style rifles and fals if you take the upper off then the bolt

Beautiful Knight muzzleloader. I have that same rifle 👍

Next episode. How to pull the trigger....

I think a bore laser is a better idea. But cool idea

Down three clicks windage two clicks right.

@hopefullbalistics are yu adjusting at max magnification or on 1x? Great video btw 👍🏾

Just start at 100 it's easy

Forgive the question… I’ve not sighted anything like this before. Would this work with a laser bore sight? Picked up a bolt action rifle and scope but am very new to all of this.

I can dig on a good teacher thanks

Yo I do the same thing but I do it at night and have a tiny red light I put out there

Put a laser pen in the barrel and you got the exact point where you aiming

Not once ever bore sighted or used a laser bore sight. Throw on my optic, take the first shot, always been on paper. Bring it in from there. No more than 3-5 shots

Bore sight your rifle at 33 yards. Shoot once. Adjust windage and elevation clicks X's 3. Now you are on paper at 100 yards with only 1 shot.😮

That's how I do it

started at roosevelt st

Good weapon for hunting my bro

That is brilliant, pointing a lazer in the barrel that way would get you way closer right?

Up and left

25 yrds works good. Try 50 yrds wayyyy better very minimal adjustment for 100 yrd zero

Yeap.

What about shooting first? See where the bullet Hit set the scope where the bullet landed

Now I am going to say that I believe in my decades of shooting MOA is inferior to MIL, so why do people still use it unless it's a preference or like the Imperial system we use to the Metric system ? What is your preference or am I enjoying your video to help those figure out how to get started correctly and has not a single clue 🗝️🧩 clue on how or what to do. It will help them start. Could use a short Lehman's terms on what they are doing so they don't have problems later. Great start to a fantastic job! Have a great weekend and enjoy your Memorial Day weekend from my family of Veterans to you and your family

how do you do that with a semi auto

How do you prevent the gun from moving as you move from looking through the poor to dialing in the scope?

Look at you…. tricky tricky I like that

Yesterday, me and my dad waisted 35ish rounds of 6.5 cm, to center the gun. We should of done this in the first place😂

Put a lazer inside it will be much easier

Now...At point of "Impact". Don't touch your rifle except your scope. Now adjust your scope to the "Paper BullsEye" now.

I've been doing this since I was 9. Is that a Boyd's stock ?

What rifle and caliber is that?

93% of hunters south of Michigan will never need a scope for hunting. Bring back iron sights.

All fun n games till its a ruger 1022😂

Hey what way do I go to site down

Or use a laser

What the hell are those scope rings?

4 more clicks down 2 clicks to the right .

can assault rifles bore sight?

😅🤭

喔以為瞄那裡打那裡？

Get a lazar round

Really

You just sighted in a rifle for 25 yards 😂

This is incredibly pointless. First off, "boresighting" only works if you can remove the action from your rifle AND look down the chamber and bore. Your bore has no parallax either, meaning the position of your eye can effect where your bore is pointing in negative relation to your optic. Finally, if you can afford a decent optic you can afford a fifty dollar laser bore sight. I've shot two, three round groups before to zero my optic using a laser bore sight in the past. This is some good ol' boi science, right here

MOA 🤢

If you shoot with a scope you're cheating.

Why would you do this over just shooting a bullet and starting from there?

2 shot zero works better

Ewww MOA
