[QUOTE="Handymike, post: 3056127, member: 119469"] I am one who has used a lazer bore sighter on my 2 hunting rifles. One is a Model 721 Remington .270 and the other is a Savage 110 Hunter .223 that I purchased from a member here about a year or so ago. Both have been fitted with new scopes and the way I did it was insert the bore scope, center the dot on a target about 30 feet in front of me. Then I adjusted the scope to about 2" above the dot on the target to compensate for the height of the center of the scope above the center of my barrel. Took the rifles to the range and both shot 1st shot about 2 " high at 100 yds, but centered above the bull. Adjusted the scopes to the first shot and was good. Before that I had used the through the bore method and I took a trip to the range and the range master giving me some pointers on viewing it that way. the key for me was getting straight behind the bore, not just moving my head to look.
