Ok I have been thinking about this for some time. Let me know what you guys think. I am interested in getting a laser bore sighter. I read many reviews and they all seem to say that laser bore sighting is not very accurate. It may get you on paper but that is about it. So I got to thinking....I understand that the problem with manufacturing, is getting the laser module exactly in the center of the blank cartridge, and that even a slight misalignment would cause great error at say 50 or 100 yards. So I have an idea. I am going to get a laser bore sighter and make 4 marks on the case N,S,E,W. Insert the case into the breach, noting which mark was facing out. Next I mount the firearm in a bench vise. Then turn on the laser and mark a paper target where the dot is, at say 50 yards. Next I will turn the case 90 degrees to the next mark, and mark the paper again. Continue doing this until I have 4 dots on the paper, one for each N,S,E,W. Now I connect the dots across from each other with a straight line. Where the 2 lines intersect is where to sight my optic. This should get me spot on. Then to make the process easier next time, figure out what position the case has to be in to shine the laser directly above the point, that the intersecting lines meet. Measure down to that spot. Say it is 4 inches, then I know that if I position the case in that position, you I have to sight my optic 4 inches low, from the laser point.
I have to order a laser bore sighter now and try this. I am going to get one with an external battery pack. I know I could just go to the range and do it the old fashioned way. But I would like to get as close as possible before I start shooting.
What do you guys think?
