In order to bore sight a rifle that doesn't allow looking through the bore, mini 14 for instance, I have struggled with different methods; mirror, reflector etc.

Then it hits me. Why am I doing this? To get on paper, is it not? I just pull in the 24"x24" target really close, say 10yd. Fire one shot with sight right on the middle of the target. I will have to really screw up not to be on paper. Adjust turrets to put poi under poa by amount equal to sight height. Fire another shot to confirm. Push the target back to 100yd and fire again. It will be on paper.

That's how I bore sight without sighting through the bore. It always work. Why don't I do it for all guns? I could. But it involves calling the range cold to move the target. I only do that when I have to.
