I have a laser boresighting kit that I've owned for a while and used on several rifles and a few pistols. So far it's been extremely accurate with the guns only requiring a few "fine tune" clicks on the scope to shoot point-of-aim.
So the other night I'm helping a guy sight in a Ruger 77/22 WMR with a sweet Leupold scope and we were having a terrible time doing so. I finally resorted to pulling the target in really close and working from there. Once we got it dialed in the scope held true and we were able to nail a nice tight group at different ranges for the next 20 shots so we figured all was good.
Just out of curiosity I stuck the boresighter back in and looked through the scope and the laser dot was WAY off to the right and high?!? Well heck, no wonder we couldn't get it sighted in at first. So I thought "damn, I guess it got banged up or something". However when I got home I stuck the thing in three other rifles I have that are sighted in and the laser dot was dead-bang right in the center of the crosshairs (all done at the same distance).
So then I thought maybe something is weird with that 77/22's barrel, but it was shooting accurately and repeatably after we finally got it dialed in.
I guess no big deal in the end because everything works but I can't for the life of me figure out HOW the laser could be so far off on that rifle and yet the rifle shoots well.
Any ideas???
