Sighting problems

[ShaunM]

It seems I am having problems sighting scopes/red dot scopes on my AR15 on the carry handle. The biggest problem is getting it zeroed. I tried bore sighting it but I can't get the crosshairs down enough to be zeroed. I've tried several scopes with no luck. If you need any more info just ask. Thanks

How close are you to what you are aiming the boresighter laser dot at when you are adjusting your scope?

[ShaunM]

I am about 5 or 6 inches high and can't adjust the crosshairs down any more. almost same results with other scopes.

at what distance? you should be aiming high at 10 meters which i think is what we boresighted at.. cant remember exactly since its been awhile since ive used an IR laser or m68 but you should be high at that short distance and then shooting at 25 meters and adjusting from there. hell i could be completely confused someone reply that has done this recently.

Have you tried some quality adjustable rings?

[Daniel]

it should be like this for 10 meters:

+ <---crosshairs/red dot or w/e

o <----borelaser

we had a sheet that had that set up with gridsquares so wed know how far to adjust one way or the other and it would make it so we would be hitting paper at 25 meters. that is when they start to connect but im not totally sure even then that they will be dead center or else when you fire at 300 you would be shooting way low. you should check the site for the scope manufacturer or read the directions that came with it for sighting it in.

I will try different rings and the distance was 25 yards.

Sounds like the scope isn't aligned properly... make sure that the carry handle mount is tightened down all the way, they can bind sometimes in a canted manner (though usually they aim too low)... I dunno.

Have you tried firing the gun to verify that the bore-sighter is projecting accurately? (of course, remove the bore-sighter from the barrel before shooting )

It was the boresighter, used my friends and now all is fine. Thanks everyone who posted. Sorry guess I should have used his instead of buying one for myself. I will be taking it back and getting the same as my friend.
