i won't be buying any boresighting tools any time soon.
if i plan on buying guns and scopes or swapping scopes a lot and it would be worth buying, then i might.

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

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?
