Laser bore sighting devices

[diddlyv]

I mount the gun pretty solidly, in the lead sled for bolt guns or my caldwell tack driver for ARs find the target at 100 and adjust the scope on target. I really like to shoot either a bolt or AR off the lead sled for the first shot. Fire the shot with the crosshairs in center of bull. Adjust the sled so that the cross hairs are back on center of bull then adjust the cross hairs to the bullet hole. The rifle is now zero'd. Adjust the sled to center crosshairs on bull shoot the shot to verify. I don't have a lazer bore sighter but can see the utility for lever guns and M-1 or M-14 style arms. Those having arguably the best sights ever put on a battle rifle rather begs the question as to why one would use a scope. With my M1A I found I could shoot better with the irons than the scope, mostly because of how high the scope ends up being when mounted. With proper cheek rests etc extreme accuracy for long range sniping can be achieved and in that role the scope is a good idea. For hunting at ranges I am comfortable in shooting game say 300 yards I find the irons satisfactory for shots where the animal is not hidden in the shadows then optics rule.
