[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 4130659, member: 41176"] Ok. For a laser boresighter, you don't need to try to get the spot and the reticle on the same spot. Especially at closer ranges like 10-25m. Keep in mind that it's a boresight tool and not for zeroing. There will be an offset between the sight and the laser spot. The boresighter is so you can get on paper for when you zero. Try this: 1. Measure your offset - the distance between the center of the sight and the bore 2. Put that on paper - two 1/4" dots, one for the spot (bottom), one for the reticle (top), this boresight Target can be place at 10, 15 or 25 m/yds 3. Bag the gun and put the spot on its dot 4. Run the reticle to its dot 5. Check that the reticle is on the top dot and the spot is on the bottom dot at the same time. Now it's boresighted. All you have to do is go to the range and zero. Determine if you are going to do a 25m zero or a 100m zero. 100m is going to be better but a 25 is fine. The general drop from POA to POI for an AK at a 25m zero is about .35-.4 inches - still recommend the 100m zero. [/QUOTE]
