Any tips for troubleshooting scopes?

First, check for any loose mounts or rings! A slight shift can lead to major discrepancies in accuracy.

Also, remember to clean your barrel. A dirty barrel can cause inaccuracies you might mistake for sighting errors. Any other common mistakes?

A dirty barrel can cause inaccuracies…

True! And don’t forget about the importance of ammo consistency. Using a variety of ammo can lead to unexpected results.

So true! I like to stick with the same brand and type whenever bore sighting to avoid surprises at the range. What’s the most unusual bore sighting tip you’ve encountered?

I once heard of a guy using an old smartphone camera to align his bore. Not typical, but it worked for him!
