Spending time at the rifle range making sure the rifle scope mounted on the gun is zeroed in is something any hunter will do on a yearly basis to make sure their gun is accurate. But is a yearly trip to the shooting range really enough to guarantee the rifle scope being spot on when that trophy buck steps out into a clearing and the shot presents itself? In most cases the answer to this question would be yes, however, if the gun has been transported, even in a rifle case, there is the chance the rifle scope may have vibrated out of sink and could be rendered inaccurate when that special moment arises.

This could turn into an unfortunate poor shot if the accuracy is not checked immediately before the hunt. Ideally, the hunter would have a place available to take a couple of shots to check their accuracy upon arrival at their hunting spot, but we all know this is hardly ever the case. One way to check the accuracy of the rifle scope without having to shoot your gun is with a magnetic boresighter. Bushnell has designed their magnetic boresighter to be easy to use and is a quick solution to the question of accuracy after a long trip.

The revolutionary design of the Bushnell magnetic boresighter eliminates the need for any arbors normally associated with bore sights. It attaches quickly and easily to the muzzle of all calibers of firearms and facilitates a quick sighting in process. The etched glass reticle on the boresighter has a small grid that shows up clearly when looking through the rifle scope. Once the rifle has been zeroed in at the shooting range, the hunter simply has to put the magnetic boresighter on the end of the rifle and make note of where the crosshairs line up on the grid. Once this is done, the spot on mark is where the scope needs to line up to maintain that level of accuracy.

I normally use two different guns for hunting, so inside of the small carrying bag that comes with the bore sight; I have 2 small pieces of paper with the spot on mark for each of my guns. This way I do not get my marks confused and I have the peace of mind in knowing my gun is going to be accurate for the hunt. Luckily, I have not had the problem of scope movement to often but with my magnetic boresighter the worry that comes with that little question in the back of my mind is practically nonexistent.
