they should bring iron sights back to these hunting rifles
yeah since hip firing decreases accuracy by 80% and that scope has a massive ads time
@@thepeskyoneAlso, low FOV when ADSing it
Counterstrike really started it.
Why? No one wants them. They want scopes.
@@kurtp5379I don't even like scopes. Feels like shooting through a TV. I've always hated em
A laser bore sighter is like $7 on Amazon , I can do it in my home at 30 ft away without setting up a target etc outside , did this the other day and hit a 12 inch target at 100 yards the next day and made adjustments.
But if u have a range already outside then u may as well do what he did! Plus it’s good information to know in a crisis situation or war situation … so thanks for the knowledge!
Thanks for watching
Different strokes for different folks, you’ve got the house and I’ve got the land 30ft is a decent stretch when we’re talking indoors
Or you could just LOOK for free. You don't need laser accuracy. It's just bore-sighting
@@robertbmcneill3758Or you could get a laser… both work
Bought a laser bore sight for around the same cost. Didn’t shoot straight out the barrel and was clearly off center even from just 5-10feet. If you can look through the barrel I’d take that over a cheap laser bore sight. But like the comments said above different strokes for different folks 🤷♂️
Been doing it that way for 40yrs. Easy and gets you very close. But now I use cartridge specific lasers since they are finally affordable.
Nice!
is it like chambering a laser pointer? damn i never thought of that
They have lazers that are shaped like the cartridge to fix behind the barrel @agmhelena7266
You can also boresight on a spot much closer. To boresight on a spot 5 yards away like you might find indoors, measure the height of the center of your scope over the center of your bore and sight the scope to a spot offset by that height.
Bore sighting has the potential to be very precise, especially when done at a longer distance. At my 100 yd target butt, I have an old car tire hanging on a post. Center it perfectly in the bore and you will see 3 rings. Make sure they are all concentric. Determine which way you need to move the reticle. But here's the thing. You must turn the dials the opposite way you want the bullet to go. You eventually learn this pretty fast. Using at least 100 yds distance and a round target that fills the bore, many times my first shot is within an inch or two of dead center @ 100 yds. Then, precise zeroing is easy. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for watching
Absolutely correct
The further away your bore sight target is, the more exact the process can be. But bore sighting can only be done with firearms where the bolt can be removed and you can see straight through the barrel. That lets lever actions, pumps actions, and standard hunting semi-autos out. Then it's laser or bore sighting tool that mounts on the end of the barrel time.
Sighting a scope is truly an artform. Can be done many different ways and each way is different on terms of how you adjust. Its also amazing how it can be broken down scientifically or realistically and acheive the same results😅
Or you can fire a round at the target then move your crosshairs to the hole
This comment should be pineed
I like to use the corner of the target stand if I'm at the range. If im at home I use the corner edge of my neighbor's house across the street. Its bout 50 yards away .
i just use my neighbor.
Both of y'all need help 💀
I always boresight my rifles at 50 yards. Had good luck doing that. Whenever I get to the range, I'm only off usually a couple of inches at 50 yards.
laser bore sighters are so so nice
Absolutely. Rifle doesn't need to be in any particular position as long as the laser dot can be seen on a visual target.
Easy peasy put laser in bore aim at target and use your adjusters up down left right move until the laser dot is in the middle of your cross hair right in the middle
Actually could be handy if you don't want to waste ammunition zeroing your scope or you live I built up area and can't shoot in your back garden lol and need to set scope
If you find a bore sight laser that works out to 100 yards In the day let me know
I never used one but yea ok understand can only zero the scope distance to as far as the laser can reach
Try the laser bore sight with my 22lr, when range time it was low to the right at least 4inch off where I was aiming at lol re sighted it again after slapping a new scope on, this time with the breech bolt close on the laser, still off by 6 or 7inch but better then not hitting the paper target
I never bore sight since I have to confirm anyways. Maybe I use a few extra rounds. But this got me thinking you could do this with an ar style upper without the bcg too, I think. Don’t know why I never put that together until now. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
They also have laser bore sighters
True I'm an older fella but I think it's time to stop belittling each other cause we're from different generations. We live together here on God's green earth, we should pass enough Wisdom, knowledge, and skills that we can pass to the younger generation so that they may build a better world.
Amen
You actually need to go up and left, as you are moving your bore to the reticle when you dial, not moving the reticle to the bore.
Always remember you are moving the bullet to your poa.
Did this on my cantilever shotgun barrel off the gun, bore sight it at 15 yard and just waiting for sabot ammo to hit the store before actually sighting at 50 yard
Thanks for the good information.😊
Thanks for watching
Very cool idea I never considered. Altho 6 rifles I have only 2 have removable bolts.
Gotcha. Yeah it won’t work for every rifle. Thanks for watching!
I thought same thing: not a very common feature on modern rifles
Could you give an example of what you can't remove the bolt on?
@@TheBlacksmith5 I simply meant a bolt action you can take the bolt out and you can see straight through the barrel from the rear or the stock end of the gun. And almost all semi-automatics, the bolt can be removed but there there's no way to more sight or look through the barrel unless it's a bolt action.
Than get a larger Target take a shot at 25 yards and do 16 clicks per inch that you are off on your bullseye than in the direction towards the bullseye. So if you are high click down and if you are right click left.
I love this method they also have nifty little cartridges now that have a laser in them they work pretty good as well for cheap
Thanks
Captain: there is the target at 12 o'clock sergeant
Sergeant:
I stopped doing this and switched to using a laser bore sight and the farthest wall in my house, even though it’s only like 15 yards if even it still gets my windage perfect and once you set up on 100 it’s not that far off you can be zeroed to 100 in like 2-3 shots, it’s saved me a ton of time and effort
I do the same thing only at 100 yds and I’m usually 6” low and slightly left first shot
Just a tip:
To make boresighting easyer get a caliber specific laser bullet. And it is way faster and easyer
Yep that’s a different way of doing it and not what this video is about. It’s also not free. Thanks for the comment
@@hopefulballistics lt's like 10-15 bucks or even cheaper you can do it the traditional way this is just faster and easyer everybody has a prefered method. Learning this is good because you can do it in the middle of nowhere without any extra device.
This also works on AR-15 style rifles and fals if you take the upper off then the bolt
Awesome! Thanks
True true. I was wondering how you would do this with an AR. I work at a range and they have a laser there so i just use that
I was first trained on the 1960's m16 long Vietnam Era and with plain iron sites and that skill and ability to site and calibrate the irons has been invaluable. It's heavy, it's clunky and going from that to the m16 a2 & a4 to the m4 carbine was a pleasure compared to my first training. Funny story, I was IDF SF and used to lose my weekends all the time in the beginning and once spent the weekend taking the screws out of the Vietnam Era butt that they put in to stop ppl hiding stuff in the little compartment. My dumb ass thought I'd find Vietnam Era stash to make the weekend stop dragging. I lost the next 3 weekends when they noticed everyone who was pulling guard duty or on punishment on base had loose screws where it should have been sealed lol
lol, I appreciate the comment
Yes works with any bolt action rifle only
Thanyou for that...moa.
Yep that’s how I’ve don’t it for over 40yrs I just bought me one of those gizmos that goes into the end of the barrel to see how it does but I’ll prob end up throwing it back in the bag and doing it old school lol
It definitely works
Forgive the question… I’ve not sighted anything like this before. Would this work with a laser bore sight? Picked up a bolt action rifle and scope but am very new to all of this.
The laser sight should replace having to look down the barrel
@@hopefulballistics right on. Thank you for the reply.
Depending on the type of rifle you may not be able to look down the barrel. For example, i have a ruger sr22r and because its a semi auto, you can't look down the barrel.
@@h3llraiz3r_929 this is true
@@hopefulballistics sorry, didn't mean to make it sound like I'm any sort of expert. I'm still learning myself. 👍
Beautiful Knight muzzleloader. I have that same rifle 👍
It’s a bolt action
@hopefullbalistics are yu adjusting at max magnification or on 1x? Great video btw 👍🏾
Max. Thanks
Bore sight your rifle at 33 yards. Shoot once. Adjust windage and elevation clicks X's 3. Now you are on paper at 100 yards with only 1 shot.😮
Thanks
Not once ever bore sighted or used a laser bore sight. Throw on my optic, take the first shot, always been on paper. Bring it in from there. No more than 3-5 shots
Been on paper at what distance?
I think a bore laser is a better idea. But cool idea
Thanks
Good weapon for hunting my bro
Thanks!
@@hopefulballistics u'r welcome bro
Missing the center at 25 yards should be considered a sin 😂
You realize what bore sighting is, right?
started at roosevelt st
?
That's how I do it
Nice
That is brilliant, pointing a lazer in the barrel that way would get you way closer right?
This is a free way to do it. There are plenty of other options that will cost something, but perfectly fine on their own.
Now I am going to say that I believe in my decades of shooting MOA is inferior to MIL, so why do people still use it unless it's a preference or like the Imperial system we use to the Metric system ? What is your preference or am I enjoying your video to help those figure out how to get started correctly and has not a single clue 🗝️🧩 clue on how or what to do. It will help them start. Could use a short Lehman's terms on what they are doing so they don't have problems later. Great start to a fantastic job! Have a great weekend and enjoy your Memorial Day weekend from my family of Veterans to you and your family
This is simply an easy and free way to sight a gun in. (You don’t have to buy anything). My preference is moa, mainly because I’m used to it. But I don’t think it’s inferior, if anything it’s more precise.
I can dig on a good teacher thanks
Thanks for watching!
25 yrds works good. Try 50 yrds wayyyy better very minimal adjustment for 100 yrd zero
Down three clicks windage two clicks right.
How do you prevent the gun from moving as you move from looking through the poor to dialing in the scope?
It should be secure on a bench with rests as shown.
Yo I do the same thing but I do it at night and have a tiny red light I put out there
Nice!
Next episode. How to pull the trigger....
Put a laser pen in the barrel and you got the exact point where you aiming
I am aware
how do you do that with a semi auto
I wouldn’t do it that way with a semiautomatic
What about shooting first? See where the bullet Hit set the scope where the bullet landed
That works
Up and left
Now doit in meters
Why?
Look at you…. tricky tricky
I like that
Just start at 100 it's easy
Yeap.
Yesterday, me and my dad waisted 35ish rounds of 6.5 cm, to center the gun. We should of done this in the first place😂
lol.
I've been doing this since I was 9. Is that a Boyd's stock ?
Yes
They make a fine product
You just sighted in a rifle for 25 yards 😂
I bore sighted it at 25 yards to get it on paper, so I can sight it in at 100. Very common, lol.
Now...At point of "Impact". Don't touch your rifle except your scope. Now adjust your scope to the "Paper BullsEye" now.
What rifle and caliber is that?
Marlin X7VH with a Boyd’s thumbhole varmint stock. 22-250 Remington
Yes I got a Featherlite stock from boyds and love it.
All fun n games till its a ruger 1022😂
Yep it works for bolt action rifles
can assault rifles bore sight?
I wouldn’t recommend this method to anything but bolt action rifles
What is an assault rifle?
@@greenman7yyy rifle that fires rifle ammunition like 5.56 x 45mm NATO, 7.62 x 39mm AK rounds, full-automatically
Put a lazer inside it will be much easier
93% of hunters south of Michigan will never need a scope for hunting. Bring back iron sights.
I guess I’m in the 7%. You have to see. It’s easier to see with a scope. For me anyway
What the hell are you talking about? A ton of magnification isnt necessary, but a 3x scope at least will increase accuracy significantly for the average shooter
喔以為瞄那裡打那裡？
You just need to get the point of aim through the barrel and in the scope to be the same.
What the hell are those scope rings?
High quality Warne steel rings
Or use a laser
Yep
4 more clicks down 2 clicks to the right .
Get a lazar round
😅🤭
Really
Really
Why would you do this over just shooting a bullet and starting from there?
If your scope was off enough, you might miss the target depending on the distance and size of the target
Like hopeful ballistics mentioned, as well as smaller final adjustments.
To conserve ammo. Pretty obvious if you've ever purchased ammo.
This is incredibly pointless.
First off, "boresighting" only works if you can remove the action from your rifle AND look down the chamber and bore. Your bore has no parallax either, meaning the position of your eye can effect where your bore is pointing in negative relation to your optic.
Finally, if you can afford a decent optic you can afford a fifty dollar laser bore sight. I've shot two, three round groups before to zero my optic using a laser bore sight in the past. This is some good ol' boi science, right here
It’s free, and it works to get you on target. Not pointless.
MOA 🤢
Lol. Yep that what I prefer.
If you shoot with a scope you're cheating.
I guess I enjoy cheating
2 shot zero works better
Not if the first shot is off the paper, nimrod. 🤔🙄
@@luvtahandload7692 lmaoo
Ewww MOA
Moa all day
