Rifle Scope Bore Sighting Home
Bushnell Boresighter


Sighting in your Rifle Scope can be time consuming and costly. Using a bore sighter can eliminate much of the time and expense of sighting in.

The Bushnell boresighter is an example of a glass reticle bore sighter. A grid pattern is imprinted on a glass reticle. The bore sighter is mounted on the muzzle of the rifle. When you look through the rifle scope, you see the grid pattern of the bore sighter. You then adjust the windage and elevation knobs on the rifle scope based on the grid of the bore sighter.

Use the Bushnell bore sighter to get your Rifle Scope on paper without wasting valuable ammunition or range time. The Bushnell glass reticle shot saver mounts on a bore stud that is inserted into muzzle of your rifle barrel. Be sure to unload your rifle and, preferably, remove the bolt before inserting anything into the barrel. Also, be sure to follow all of the manufacturers safety precautions.

After the bore sighter is inserted into the barrel, look through the rifle scope and use your windage and elevation adjustments to zero the scope.

It's that simple. You should now be on paper at 50 yards. Remove the Bushnell Boresighter and take your rifle to the range and complete your final adjustments with live rounds.
