Probably need to take the scope off and turn it around first..

*censored* that is the problem. I thought the big end was to see with my eye better.  Smart ass.

Good idea but to much work. Easier to bore sight it. Wether I buy one or use someones. I think sportmans charger like $30.00

But what he described IS boresighting!  And it's easier than it sounds. That's how I've always done it. But I do it at the range with my rifle on the sandbags, just before I sight it in. You don't need to clamp it down or anything. When I've done it it has got me within a couple of inches at 100 yards. Your 12"x12" target was too small and you were probably just off it by a little bit. If you had taken the bolt out and looked down the bore at your target, you would have at least seen which way it was off. I sure wouldn't pay $30 to have it done when you can do it yourself for free, and it is only a matter of spending a couple of minutes looking through the bore and adjusting the crosshairs.

I know that. I was refering to bore sight with laser.

I have one of the laser boresight tools, multi caliber bushings with laser sticking out the end of the barrel. Bought it with my 300RUM due to the high cost of ammo. I thought I would save some cash. Tool worked awesome. Simply figure your anticipated ballistic trajectory for that round, figure where your round should be at 25 yards, (taking into consideration the height of your scope in relation to your barrel), lay the gun across the hood of your truck aimed at paper at 25 yards and dial the scope in on the red dot. Worked awesome. My first three rounds thru the gun, at 100 yards were just a bit high left. Had the gun sighted in with maybe six rounds.

One advantage to the lazer boresighters is that you can mark a target where your point of impact is to use as a reference if you ever drop your gun.

bookworm that's exactly what i was going to say, just didn't know how to word it...lol...i seen them do the same thing on the outdoor channel it made me want to buy one...

i"ve got the old style bore sighter with the all the different caliber stinger that you clamp the round black thing on to. that was an intelligent sentence. it work pretty good. 99 times out of a 100 it will put you on the paper at 100 yards first shot. i bet you can pick one up pretty cheep now a days. Ive had mine for 15 or 20 years. and at the price of ammo it won't take long to pay it off. looks like less than 20 bucks on ebay.

I agree. I always do that sort of thing myself without the "kit".

Cat, you working tomorrow? I am off if you wanta work on that rifle.
start at 10 feet, if you cant get on paper and get it to a 'bulls eye' at 10 feet something is wrong, way wrong!

then back up. 25 yards etc.

Have you rechecked your mounts etc?
