Really? I' ve had 7 or 8 customers last season come back and tell me that they were either dead on at 100 yards, or within an inch of being dead on.

No matter what you do, you always have to get in some range time. Never trust a boresighter.

In Oklahoma, Elk are pretty much draw in only and it' s a once in a lifetime hunt. Once you' re drawn, whether you harvest or not, you' re done forever. I had this one gentleman come in with a Weatherby Vanguard in 7mm Mag and was thoroughly upset. He' d taken his rifle to a different store and had them boresight it. Then he went on his once-in-a-lifetime-elk hunt. (I' ve been trying to draw in since 1985!!!!). You guessed it, he never went to the range. He got a shot, wounded the elk, never found it, and can now never hunt for one again in Oklahoma. When I got my hands on the rifle, the sights were so far off it was unbelievable. The crosshairs were at the far right side of the collamator. I sighted it for him and told him to be sure and go to the range to do the final sighting in before deer season. I later learned it was dead on at 100 yards, but he wouldn' t have known that if he hadn' t gone to the range. I think he learned his lesson.

If you use a collamator system like the Bushnell, here is what I do, and maybe why I' m fairly consistant.

I start at the scopes lowest power and center the crosshairs. Then I crank up the power and check their position making any small adjustments necessary, then I crank it down again and recheck.
