I have never found bore sighting much good. Start at 25 yds then zero the scope to shoot the bull. repeat at 50 yds then 75 and finally 100.. remember for most scopes 4 clicks to an inch at 100, this means 8 to the inch at 50 and 16 at 25yds.
Ditto. I work in a small sporting goods shop and personally would never use the cheap boresiter we have on one of my guns, I tell the customer that up front. Still, its amazing how many guys will come in the day before a hunting season opens wanting a ' boresite' . In 20 years of this I have had a total of one person come back and tell me his rifle was so close that he wouldn' t mess with it.
IMHO half the fun of prepping for the big hunt is taking the guns out and zeroing them in, if the gun is a new one this is all the more important as it is a chance to get a feel for the new gun and find if it has in problems.
