Got a question concerning a new rifle I have ,,,chambered in 7.62 NATO which I just had a scope put on...
In order to bore sight it the fellow at the shop couldn't fit his normal 30 caliber bore sighting tool into the barrel....nor some laser gizmo sighting apparatus....
The guy asked if I was sure it was .308,,,and I told him it has 7.62 X 51 stamped on the barrel
He got the thing bore sighted using a device from bushnell that attached to the end of the barrel with a magnet...
This guy was not a real gunsmith,,,,but said he had never seen this happen before...
My question is...could this be related to the fact that the barrel is chrome lined ?
I have never fired the gun....but it accepts a .308 go guage....and will chamber .308 commercial ammo..
The Rifle in question is an Australian International Arms update of a Lee Enfield,,,with stronger action in 7.62x51 NATO.....Called an M10 B1 version...the sporterized type..
Any comments ?
