Being able to see the barrel & front sight in the scopeis perfectly normal! IF you had a very low powered scope, such as a 2.5X, you could see the front end of the barrel quite distinctly! So don't sweat it! Boresighting has no impact whatsoever on what you see thru the scope! As long as you boresighted the scope and center of the bore on the same distant object, your first shot should be on paper somewhere! But fire your first few rounds at a target no more than 25-yards away, just to be sure where it is hitting!

Adjust at 25 so the bullet is hitting the point of aim, then move back to 100 to finalize your zero.....
