I never use a bore sight unless I can't look down my barrel. I can't usually get things on target within a couple shots
I do same except I draw big cross lines up with crosshairs that way you pretty much able to hold same placeI worked as a RSO at PNTC for a few years, I've found the easiest way to zero is a clay pigeon on the back stop. Do a old school bore sighting with the rifle. Spot the impact, put crosshairs back on bullseye and then move the crosshairs to the impact while rifle is held steady. This in 1 or 2 shots will break clay pigeon and put you on paper.
The zero stop gives some issues when zeroing.
Great ideaUsing a de primed case in the chamber, look though the flash hole at the target at 100, or some other object. The size of the flash hole makes the job a lot easier(smaller peep sight).
I've watched a couple of these circuses, break it open, pull the bolt, try balance it on a range bag or something soft.What is the best way to bore sight an AR ?
I bought a laser unit when I was brand new to hunting and never will again. Most decent sized public ranges (at least near me) have steel once you get out to 200 yards or so, typically on some kind of berm/backstop. I shoot at 200 first, and spot my hits in the dirt, then use the reticle to get on the steel. Once I am on steel at 200, then I move back to 100 to dial in the zero. Saves a whole lot of effort over trying to figure out if I am even close to the target at 100, or shooting at 50 and having to move the paper target.
