[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1462809, member: 2736"] I also look through the bore when possible. I use a pistol target with a 6'' black bulls eye at 100 yards and center the bore over the target. I use my lead sled to hold the rifle steady and when the bore is centered, then I adjust the scope. After adjusting, I look through the bore again and without touching the rifle I look through the scope. If there are any minor adjustments that need making, I repeat the process. Normally I am within 1 or 2 inches of dead center. And then fire on a target that has a 1/4 MOA grid for fine tuning. For non bolt action rifles and pistols I use this type of bore site because it will fit everything and has no pilots that can damage the bore/crown. (It is a great tool that is very handy). [URL]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2130726870/wheeler-engineering-professional-laser-bore-sight[/URL]. I recommend the green laser over the red because you can see it better outside. If using inside to site the scope in before going to the range, the red works fine. (and is a little cheaper) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
