This guide details a practical method for bore sighting a rifle, a crucial step before live fire zeroing, as demonstrated by Civilian Tactical. It emphasizes aligning the optic's reticle with the barrel's line of sight to save ammunition and time. The process involves careful visual alignment and adjustment, with a reminder that bore sighting is a starting point, and live fire is necessary for final precision zeroing.

Quick Summary

Bore sighting aligns your rifle's optic with the barrel's line of sight without firing. This crucial step saves ammunition and time by ensuring your first shots are on target. It involves visually aligning the barrel with a distant target and then adjusting the optic's reticle to match that alignment, serving as a vital precursor to live-fire zeroing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bore sighting and why is it important?

Bore sighting is aligning your rifle's optic with the barrel's line of sight before live fire. It's crucial for saving ammunition and time by getting you on paper quickly, reducing the number of shots needed for a final zero.

What tools are needed for manual bore sighting?

For manual bore sighting, you primarily need the rifle itself, a stable rest, and your optic. A rangefinder can help establish a known distance, and tools like bore-sighting lasers can aid alignment, though visual alignment through the barrel is also effective.

How do you perform manual bore sighting?

Manually bore sighting involves looking through the unloaded rifle's barrel to align it with a target. Then, while keeping the barrel aligned, you look through the optic and adjust the reticle to match the bore's point of aim.

Is bore sighting a substitute for zeroing a rifle?

No, bore sighting is a preliminary step. It provides a rough alignment to get your shots on paper. Live fire is essential to fine-tune the optic and achieve a precise zero at your desired range.
