I have only ever shot iron sights in the army, so having to bore sight for a red dot scope is something I have never done. Do I need the laser attachment? What distance is a good distance to bore sight?Thanks in advance![This message has been edited by Iamsocool (edited 4/5/2012 1:40p).] 0 Puryear Playboy You must be a subscriber to .

Take the upper off, then remove the bolt carrier group.Find a target at about 50 yards, center it in the bore as you look through the rear of the barrel and then adjust your sight until it also lines up with the same target.Re-assemble, then mag dump to confirm. 0 Iamsocool You must be a subscriber to .

Not impossible though, just harder.A laser would be best, or you could take it to the range with a couple of boxes of cheap ammo and figure out where it's shooting by picking out something on the berm and basing your adjustments on the splash with relation to your target - not the cheapest, but still effective.I'm sure you could probably take something like a little craftsman workmate and clamp up your AR in such a manner you can pull the pins and do a physical bore sight on something and get in the general range too, but I have no experience.Try to keep it at 25 yards or so. 0 schmellba99 You must be a subscriber to .

Observe where it hits the target. Adjust RD accordingly. 0 aggielostinETX You must be a subscriber to .

If you don't, then I fear for us all... lolI got a cheap boresighter that comes with difference sized rubber end pieces depending on the caliber. You stick it down the end of the barrel, turn it on, and then adjust your sight until it aligns perfectly with the dot.You'll be on paper for sure at 25 yards and will only need minor adjustments. Then sight in at 100 with the correct elevation. If I remember right, I shoot 2" low at 25 yards and dead on at 100. 0 Iamsocool You must be a subscriber to .

There was a time before bore-sighting lasers? How did you ever survive? lol I used to do the whole shooting and zeroing from POI, but this takes a lot less ammo and has quicker results.Especially with .50 Beowulf, I don't want to waste more ammo than I have to haha 0 Mr. Dubi You must be a subscriber to .

It was easy enough, and I used the Winchester ballistics calculator to determine that I should aim 1.5" low at 25 yards. Don't know when I can make it to the range to see if I can hit paper though.http://ballisticscalculator.winchester.com/ 0 MasterAggie You must be a subscriber to .

I have a browning bore sight tool that you just stick to the end of the barrel and as odd as it sounds you get the same picture no matter if the thing is upright or not. Went to the range and it was about 4 inches high and 2 to the left. Adjusted from there. But playboy and log's methods are probably the best ideas. And don't cost extra. 0 artifact_collector101010 You must be a subscriber to .

I think mine has been used a couple dozen times--on my rifles (sometimes a couple times when changing optics) and on a few friends rifles. 0 Skip to Last Page 1 Page 1 of 1 Page 1 of 1 Post Reply This post has been flagged.
