Are you planning on using the same scope for multiple weapons? If so, you're setting yourself up for more trouble than it's worth. I'd buy a scope for each gun/crossbow so you can sight in once each and be done with it. If you switch the same scope out between different guns the POI will change each time you change the scope, which means that you'll be doing nothing but sighting the gun in all the time. A boresighter is designed for two reasons, to allow a gunsmith to mount a scope so that the scope will be as close to boresighted as possible with the turrets set to center, and to get the rifle on paper at 50-100 yards. A boresighter will NOT sight the gun in to an acceptable level for hunting. You'll hit the target, but beyond that you MUST take the time to sight in with live fire.

I totally agree . You will burn more ammo that what it is worth. Put an optic on each weapon.
