[QUOTE="OzRanger, post: 1836027, member: 110388"] Question for the brains-trust folks. Mate of mine just got a new Ruger 17WSM. Nice looking rifle. Normally I bore-sight it for him and we get going. I normally have it set perfectly in 3 or 4 shots and off we go. However, I look down the bore at 100 meters, fire, and I'm not even on a 1x1 meter fresh board! WHAT!!! So I boresight at 50... I'm off by over a foot. Can't even see the the bullet hole looking down the bore. I boresight at 25 then extend that out to 100. I work out that at 100 meters, the bullet is shooting right... almost a meter! Lucky the scope has some **** adjustment. Just wondering, does this mean the barrel is bad/bent or other? Never seen anything like it. I am considering telling him to take it back. Cheers for any and all help. [/QUOTE]
