A difficult accomplishment this weekend... - The Firearms Forum

I managed to sight in my scope on my recently converted Saiga 7.62x39. I haven't gotten to shoot it since I did the conversion and hung all the doodads on it but wanted to get the scope at least close. What was so difficult about that, you might ask?

Well, it was my first time ever using a laser boresight. I set up this new Caldwell shooting rest on an old plant stand on the back porch and took a big piece of lexan that still has the white protective plastic on it to use as a target for the laser, leaned it up against the back fence about 90 feet away. I got the Saiga set up in the rest, and then started the difficult part of the project...

Aligning the scope crosshairs on a red dot that is being attacked by three dogs...

Yeah, it was even more difficult when I was adjusting the laser that I have on it for close up shooting, they didn't know which dot to go after!
