Bore sight

[Buddha7486]

Had a student show up to the range with a Browning X-Bolt recently. He had a scope mounted by a “gunsmiff”. Front mount was in the rear, and vice versa. Thankfully he didn’t properly tighten anything, because he would have damaged the scope tube.

Out of curiosity, I slapped a bore sight on it. Couldn’t get the reticle on paper. At 100yds, it was several feet over the target, and a foot or so right.

Gots to be mo careful. Always pay attention to detail on mounts etc.

Just go through the classifieds section to realize how many people have no earthly clue on how to mount a sight. Irons, red dot, scope. You name it. Unbelievable.

Best money I spent in a long time was years ago when I bough a bore site kit from Midway or Brownells. Easy to use and actually helps get the scope lined up square as well. Not very expensive if I remember, but well worth the money.

The owner is a fairly new gun owner. He trusted the guy at the gun shop, who holds the title of “gunsmith”, to do a proper job. He didn’t.

I fixed it, and advised him to go back to the shop and get a refund on the labor.

Installed a set of BUIS on a lady’s M4. She came back in with her husband, and informed me that her husband said I mounted them backwards. I assured her that they were mounted correctly. She told her husband, “Your sights are mounted backwards, not mine.”

I have fixed 2 mounting setups out of ga firing line and one from Adventure Outdoors. Mind you, and anyone else, that I am not a gunsmith. People don't bring me **** on a daily basis. Imagine my thoughts of those "smiths" that can even mount an optic even close to correctly.
