I keep it at 25 yards,any bolt action use a Tipton vise look down the bore and ten feet away put up a target look through the bore and see where you are on the target put a small sticker and look through the scope and make your adjustments.This method at 25 yards well put you on paper about 4 inches off bullseye.I've seen some guns that were boresighted at the store way off mark . |

It is not an exact science, more an art form, do it more, and you'll get better at it.
I learned to bore sight looking down the bore at an object down range and can do that pretty well, but it takes time and effort (and a very well anchored gun.) Lasers work pretty well, as do bore sighting tools with a shaft that goes into the barrel. The nice thing about the "shank in the barrel" type is that once you zero, you can mount the bore siter and figure out where your real-world zero is and return to that spot later, if the scope ever needs to come off - I've done this a few times with a few rifles and had great success. |

Pretty much sums up my method too. I just put my rifle on a Harris bipod with a bag in the rear and go from there.
I've also "corrected" several gunshop bore sight jobs in like manner.

I have a laser bore sighter and I bore sight at about 20 yards in my basement and it works great. The old fashion way works for me also I use a 1" yellow dot and look thru the bore and adjust from there. always on paper either way....
