I use my B & D workmate (padded) to hold the rifle level, place a target about 20 feet away, and look through the bore, adjusting the workmate until the bore is dead on the centre of the bullseye. Then I adjust the scope so it's horizontally dead on, and vertically about an inch or so high. When I've taken the rifle to the range to do the final sight in, I've always found it to be within 2 inches, horizontally or vertically, of dead centre. As I said , the modern bore sighters are good, but not much better than the manual system, if you are diligent, and with the money saved, I can buy a couple of boxes of good ammunition.

Terra @ Robinson turned me onto your site. She's a GREAT GIRL! Knowledgeable, polite, willing to help Alex's Customers in anyway possible. I wasn't aware that this XCR Blog existed until I spoke with Terra yesterday. I, like lots of others, am having difficulty finding ammo for my new 7.62X39 kit. Hopefully the Robinson Family will be able to assist in this search. I am expecially looking for ballestic and tactical ammo, but could also use some of the less expensive, non corrosive ammo in this caliber. I will look forward to hearing from you on this endeavor.
