Default RE: Boresighting(was need scope help)

If it is a bolt action, single shot or muzzleloader you can bore sight it your self. If you have a gun where you can remove the bolt or breech plug and look down the barrel you are in business. Mount the scope and then set the gun so it wont move and line up the barrel with an object about 25-50 yds away. Next, adjust the scope to see what you see looking through the barrel. I did this when I mounted a scope on my dad' s new muzzleloader. It was only 3" left at 100 yds. A couple of clicks to the right on the scope adjustment ring and some confirming shots and it was sighted.
