How to Bore Sight a Rifle in 2 Minutes Flat

hello amigos today we're gonna boresight this new tikka t3 X and I want to show you two different ways to do it we've been playing too many guns lately because Nancy Pelosi's wanted to take them all away from us and so we've done a lot of siting in and just wasted too much money on ammo and so we've been kind of trying to dial in our game with bore sighting so I'm gonna show you two ways the first way is the kind of poor man's way to do this which you just remove your bowl and we're essentially just going to look straight we're gonna put up a small target you know it could be an actual target or whatever you're going to put up out there a little dot on the wall we want this to be I mean ideally as far away as possible if you can go outside and point at something small far away it's gonna be better aim small miss small but even if it's 50 feet away or something you're gonna do fine so I'm kind of angling through the office to a couple rooms here and we can get a decent distance so here's how it's gonna work I'm again right I've removed the bolt and all I'm doing is I'm looking straight through the barrel and just putting kind of using the barrel as a peep sight to aim at a little dot so I'm lined up on it and then I'm going to actually dial my turrets to put that spot right on it so I'm looking through the scope and then down through the barrel to make sure I haven't bumped it and that should at least get us very very close to where we need to be just by looking through the bore of the gun and then dialing our turrets to it the problem is moving around a little bit it's easy to get off so after you've done this I would probably shoot your first shot you know it 40 feet something like that with as big of a paper as you can get just to make sure we're on paper and kind of continue from there there's a popular YouTube video from a great youtuber who kind of shows this technique and shows it as like a two-shot pot it's amazing I don't know if I'd quite call it that I mean sometimes you get lucky but sometimes you know we're really just sighted into within this kind of range and it's still going to take a box of ammo to do so method number two is to buy a laser bore sight this one is the cheapo on Amazon and as far as I'm concerned anyway it's just as good as anything else you're going to find so I'll walk you through exactly how to do it and then I'll link in the description to this specific one so you're gonna take out your bore sight and put in your battery and really the way this works is it's just going to fit in the end of the barrel we have to make sure it fits really snugly I love that word it's like snuggly but it's not it's snuggly we're gonna point it really to wherever we want it doesn't have to be aimed at a target and then we're gonna use one of these little nubs that it comes with in the end of the barrel to again make sure it fits snugly so I'm gonna test they have different sizes and this one feels like it's a snug ish fit already in the bore and that's perfect and then as I'm screw this little nub because there'll be four different calibers and this is a six five Creedmoor here so as you screw this in it kind of pushes out those plastic flanges to make it fit tighter and so you want it to fit nice and snug but not you know too tight that were scratching the crud out of your barrel and stuff we'll get that in a little bit too tight still perfect fit alright then we'll just push it in so it's fitting as nice and tight as possible the idea is we want to just map the exactly where that bore is fitting right and then this one is simpler all we're doing now is that laser is pointing to exactly where the bore is pointed and then we're just going to dial your turret down to that down to that green laser light and you're set to go is done so usually I find by going to this method with the laser boresight you know we're gonna go from this close to on with just the looking through the bore method do you know within a foot foot and a half we're gonna be in there we're certainly gonna be on the paper with that laser bore sight so I think it's worth it to pick up a laser bore sight you'll have it forever they're really really cheap and it's gonna save you as much on ammo probably the first or second time you sat in a gun and so I think it's absolutely worth it but it's good to know both methods because you know if you're out in the woods or something and you knock your optic and you need to side in in the woods that's a great method to at least get close by just looking through the bore of the barrel backfires a channel we'll putting a ton of work into and so if you'd give me a subscribe it would help my personal self-esteem and make me not cry myself to sleep tonight
