Bore sighting is just intended to save you ammo by getting you generally within 6 inches of the bullseye at 25 yards. Now I have had it done a time or two where I was only a few clicks off at 100 yards, but usually it is just within a couple of inches. Trying to site in a scope without bore siteing is a big guessing game if you dont hit the paper with the first shot. It can be dangerous too. Hopefully you have somebody available to you to help you out when you try to put the final touches on siteing in your rifle. Good luck and have fun.
