[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 1729185, member: 280"] I tried something new this week. I was switching scopes on my 260, but instead of just taking off the old scope, mounting the new, and boresighting it, I put the gun in a gunsmith vise on my picnic table, and adjusted the vise until my crosshairs on the old scope were centered on a distinct object in the yard. Then I carefully removed the old scope, put the new one in, and withiout moving the gun or the vise, adjusted the crosshairs on the new scope so they were centered on the same object. I think it worked quite well, but I won't know for sure until I get a chance to take it to the range. It should be at least as close or closer than the usual bore sighting. (BTW, I normally do boresighting the old fashioned way, with no boresight gizmo. I remove the bolt and look through the bore, then center the crosshairs on the object in the center of the bore. Then shoot and adjust from there.) [/QUOTE]
