Would yall trust academy to mount and bore sight a scope.

[bowhntrmatt]

I had a local small gun shop mount and bore sight a scope for me a while back. It was way more than I thought it should be (supposedly they hand-lapped the rings in place and what not) and then I got to the range to sight in and it wasn't even on a 2x2 foot target at 100.

I have always used the method mentioned above where I just bag it, line up the bore by eyeball with a distant object and move the scope accordingly. The worst start sighting in I ever had was about 10" off.

I don't mean it to be condescending but I don't see why anyone would need someone to bore sight a scope for them....its pretty simple

[Grulla]

Ahhhh Hell naaaw

[skeeter]

I call BS on this one. Bore sighting is as simple as lining up a red laser with the crosshairs and I have done plenty and had many done by shops also and have never seen one accurate at 100 yards from just bore sighting. I guess it's possible just not probable.

You're right. You caught me. I was sure hopin you of all people would not read this. Specially since u have done so many and its so simple. What was i thinkin? I have everything to gain by tellin a lie about gettin my rifle scope bore sighted and you ruined it. And on a public forum. Geez, i dunno how im gonna sleep tonite.

NO..... DIY... Its easy. I bore sight with a piece of tape on the window in my gun room. center in bore, center in scope. Done.

I dont have time to be fixing others mistakes. I torque all my own screws and level all my own crosshairs. Hell I even shoot all my own guns

Mr. Ben has always done a heck of a job on any guns I or my dad have bought from or taken there. Haven't made it in there in a couple years though

They don't have a good track record of hiring the best and the brightest.....

they usually hire the type that will break something because they can't just say they don't know how to do it, and then try to cover it up.

I wouldn't trust Academy to do anything with my guns or bow.

[Bowtech Shooter]

shot mine at lunch that i had done at cabelas in buda last night. guess i got lucky. was about 4-5 inches high at 100 yards. 3 shots later i was in the 1" diamond.

Whoever invented the bore sighting stuff is a genius.














I mean really. Look how much money folks in just this thread wasted on it already haha. Do it yourself!!

[skeeter]

Dont think its a question of money or how ez it is to d i y. Matter of time, equipment and want to. Its ez to work on a bow. How many people take their bow to the shop for every little tweek? Why? Its ez enuff to d i y.

Ive never been charged to have a scope boresighted. I will tip the guy who does the work. Academy doesnt charge for it either. I dont think they will bore sight a scope u bought somewhere else. But they will mount and boresight if u buy from them.

[randal]

No way josè

[bk_tradguy88]

Not a chance, there used to be one person beside myself that I would let mount a scope for me. He was killed a while back, so now only I will be doing mine.

No tools required. Takes an extra 60 seconds when your at the range before you shoot.
