Scope Mounted, Sight In issue

Skywalker, as Koshkin mentioned, don't try to zero your scope with the boresighter; its only job is to get you on paper for final sight-in.  You cannot accurately establish how far above the point of aim you wish your sight-in to be during bore sighting, because there are too many variables affecting actual POI.

Remember, in order to move your POI on target UP, your reticle has to be moved DOWN.  If you turn the elevation knob toward the "up" direction and watch your reticle move, it is actually moving downward.  The same applies to your windage adjustment.  When you move the knob in either direction, the reticle is actually being compensated in the opposite direction than you would initially think. 

Ron is right.  That laser beam is coming out of the barrel in a perfectly straight line, while the bullet will fly along a curved path (due to gravity pulling the bullet down).  Hence actual bullet impact will always be lower than the laser beam.  Either way, laser bore sighter is only useful to get the initial shot on paper.  Final sighting in can only be done at the range.  Sight the scope in an inch or two below the laser beam and go shoot it.

Close, you can slide a dollar bill between them, a low ring will not work, thus I have a mid ring.  I did this, have my cross hair 1" above my laser dot.  I understand what Ronk was saying.  The laser is acting as bullseye and I am wanting to be 1" high, so my cross hair needs to be above, not below the laser.  Of course, I am literally sighting this in on Sat, just trying to get ahead a little tonight.

I think I got it now.   THANKS!

So if I want to sight in 1" high at 100 yrds then I need the laser to be below the cross hair 1" with my laser?  Haven't used my laser bore sighter much at all, so still learning.

Here ya go!
