This video demonstrates how to bore sight a rifle at 100 yards without firing a shot, using a Bushnell AR optic and a rangefinder. The process involves aligning the rifle's bore with the target and then adjusting the optic's reticle to match. While bore sighting provides a solid starting point, live fire is still necessary for final precision adjustments.

Quick Summary

Bore sighting aligns your rifle's optic with the barrel's trajectory without firing, saving ammo. Secure the rifle, align the bore with the target, then match the optic's reticle. Use a 100-yard distance for a good starting point, but always follow up with live fire for final zeroing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bore sighting and why is it useful?

Bore sighting is a method to roughly align your rifle's optic with the barrel's point of impact without firing a shot. It's useful for saving ammunition and time by getting you on paper quickly at the range.

How far should I bore sight my rifle?

A common distance for bore sighting is 100 yards. This provides a good starting point for your optic's adjustment before you make fine-tuning shots at your desired zero distance.

What equipment is needed for bore sighting?

You'll need your rifle with the optic mounted, a stable way to secure the rifle (like a vise or bipod), and ideally a rangefinder to confirm your distance. A laser bore sighter can also be used.

Is bore sighting enough for accurate shooting?

No, bore sighting is just the initial step. It gets your optic close to the point of impact. You must follow up with live fire at your intended zero distance to make precise adjustments for accuracy.
