Editor: You are still going to need to confirm your 100-yard zero. That will take at least two shots. The method here gives you a reliable 100-yard zero in four. The 25-yard zero may get people in trouble because of the difference in scope height over the bore from rifle to rifle.

A suggestion. When bore sighting your rifle, it is imperative you keep your eye “centered” in the bore. As you look down the bore, make sure you have equal amounts of “rifling” appearing all around the bore. The best way I ever found to do this was to use a distant streetlight. The light allows you to center the bore due to the reflection.

If doing this daylight hours, if you back a few feet away from the rifle, you will be more accurate in centering the bore.
