Remington 770 bore sighted????

[Quality Hunt Co]

if he doesn't know better than not to sight in his gun how can you trust him to even be safe or shoot within ranch rules ect???? just sayin!

Bore sighted does not mean sighted in. It means it's close enough to get you on a "large" piece of paper to get you a head start when sighting in

I'm taking my buddy and his son out for a doe hunt this weekend. He purchased his son a 770 in .270 for Christmas.

I just called him and asked if he took it to the range to sight it in? "No" was the answer. He said it was supposed to be GTG out of the box......

We can sight it in at the ranch if need be. I don't want him injuring a doe but are they sighted in out of the box.

Thoughts???

I shoot my bow and rifle every year before I hunt no matter how it was shooting at the end of the season. Dont you?

First time out of the bow or safe they should be shot before they hunt JMO.

First I apologize to the boy for getting a boat anchor given to him for christmas, second take that puppy to the range my money is one it barely being able to stay on a feed bag let alone hit a deer.

That rifle will do his son well. My cousins has tagged out with his deer every year with his .270 in the Rem 770. He tagged out this year in the first month while my new Winchester Model 70 is sitting pretty in the safe. Would I buy a 770? No I'd recommend for someone low on funds to get hunting.

Just wait till he breaks the bolt off on it since it is just pressed in with glue. Been there done that some other poor soul now owns it. Never been that close to chunking a rifle across the pasture in my life. Lots of good options out there for around the same price that aren't the same crap that rifle is.

So what's the guy who's trying to get his kid into hunting supposed to do? It's obvious he doesn't know much about rifles by the question asked. The thread asked about bore sighting not bash my buddies kids Christmas present I'm sure he was thrilled to get

Just have the shooter bench test/sight it in himself. Like said above use it as a learning session on how to sight in a rifle and to never take an unproven weapon in to the field. I say thats a very important thing for a new shooting to learn as well as learning how to sight in iron sites.

This guy likes his and seems to shoot pretty good and with inexpensive off the shelf ammo. Hunting on a budget = hunting and nothing wrong with that in my book.

I would sight the gun in and then REQUIRE the kid to shoot a group. If he couldn't keep them In the kill zone off a bench rest, He would have to wait till next year before crippling a deer.

My dad bought a 770 that was "supposed" to be bore sighted. Wasn't even on paper. Take it out and shoot it.
