Cheap bore sighters
- Thread starter AL45

A rifle is easy, but for me, a pistol is a little more unsteady with my wrists resting over a sand bag and I don't own a ransom rest. I was thinking I could lock the gun in a wood vice and using a boresighter, get it close enough. Obviously I wouldn't be firing the gun in the vice. Your idea of shooting at close targets and gradually moving back does make sense. How close would you recommend to start with?
You will really have to try hard to miss a 24"x24" target at 5yd or even at 10yd.
Before start, you have to figure out click value and adjustment directions of your optics. If it doesn't click , the moa per turn on the adjustment. Then you need to be able to calculate the moa at the target distance.
For example 2" off at 5yd is 40moa. 16moa per turn requires 2 and half turns to correct. It would be a bit of frustration to start, mostly caused by incorrect calculations and adjustment directions. But think about this, you still have to do it eventually even with the laser gadgets. Once you get a hang of it, it is really no magic.
