HOW TO BORE SIGHT A SCOPE-MOUNTED RIFLE OR HANDGUN
Scope/Rifle Combination
Once you have secured the Boresighter, place the rifle on a suitable support. Remove
the adjustment caps from your riflescope. Then sight through the riflescope and align
the reticle with the crosshairs of the graduated grid reticle in the Boresighter by using
the riflescope’s elevation and windage adjustments. Once you have aligned the
riflescope reticle with the graduated grid reticle in the Boresighter, you are ready for
sighting-in on the range. If bore sighting has been done properly, sighting-in should
take a minimum of time and ammunition. After “sighting-in”, don’t forget to rein
stall
the Boresighter and record the reticle position (see pg. 1).
Scope/Handgun Combination
Once you have secured the Boresighter to the barrel, place the handgun on a suitable
support. Remove the adjustment caps from the scope. Sight through the scope and
align the crosshairs with the crosshairs in the Boresighter using the scope’s elevation
and windage adjustments. Once you have aligned the scope crosshairs with those of
the Boresighter, your handgun is ready for sighting-in on the range.
How to Bore Sight a Rifle or Handgun with Iron Sights
Once you have secured the Boresighter to the barrel, place the
handgun or rifle on a
suitable support. Viewing through the rear sight, adjust the sights to align with the
crosshairs on the graduated grid reticle in the Boresighter. When you have completed
bore sighting, the handgun or rifle is ready for sighting-in on the range.
How to Make Corrections for Bullet Drop
Using the scope adjustments, you can make correction for bullet drop at a specific
distance provided the trajectory of the specific load is known. Each graduation on
the Boresighter grid is equivalent to 4 inches at 100 yards. When the scope reticle is
below the grid center, the gun will shoot high.
