[QUOTE="Roughrice, post: 3057412, member: 118657"] I didn't read every post so I don't know if this was tried by someone else but I found this trick by luck after a long work day! One day after work, I mounted a scope on a rifle on my dining table where I could get it all squared up. After I was done, It was too dark to see outside through my picture window where I normally boresight on the top "T" of my pipe fence at 103 yards from my dining table. So, my Dusk to Dawn light was the only thing I could see well enough so I lasered it at 195 yards and boresighted on it (I have a door next to the picture window if you were wandering how I lasered it). It worked tremendously well! The window tints light enough where it isn't too bright and creates a small halo around the bulb when looking through the barrel which makes it very easy to center in the bore. This method puts it slightly high on paper at 100 if I really take my time and do a good job. I thought about putting a small solar light on my fence "T" which would work great but just never did. Now I boresight all of them that way unless I'm in a hurry and just do it at the range. Just a trick I stumbled on and wanted to share. [/QUOTE]
