[QUOTE="Namuh, post: 3055859, member: 127267"] I've never used a laser and it may work for some, but as others have said I bore sight by eye. At home I put the gun in a sled so it can't move, then pull the bolt and look down the bore, I use a white paper plate set at about 30 yards across my driveway and on the plate I put a small black dot with a sharpie. The plate when lined up evenly to the bore will give you a perfectly round circle with a small halo around it. Then I look through the scope and adjust the cross hairs to the small black sharpie dot, check back and forth a couple times to make sure the bore and scope are lined up with the plate and I'm done. When I go out to shoot the gun I'm easily on paper with the first shot at 50 yards, usually just a few inches off. With a center fire I adjust the scope and shoot again at 100 for a final adjustment. I've done two .22lr in the last couple weeks and the paper plate works really well, next time I do a center fire I’ll try that primer hole too. [/QUOTE]
