TRADITIONAL BORE-SIGHTING (BOLT ACTIONS)
Preliminary sighting-in can also be accomplished
by bore-sighting at the firing range using a
target from 20 to 50 yards away.
1. Position the firearm on the bench, using
sandbags to steady the firearm.
2. Remove the bolt from the firearm.
3. Looking through the bore itself, move
the firearm to center the bull’s-eye of
the target inside the barrel, as shown in
Figure A.
4. Hold the rifle steady. With the bull’s-eye
centered when viewed through the bore,
make windage and elevation adjustments
to the scope until the very center of the
reticle is aligned with the bull’s-eye of
the target, as shown in Figure B.
