I don't see how the scope could detract from rifles actual value come sell time but if the buyer doesn't want it take it off and keep the scope. I say a person can never have enough good glass.

I think separate sales is best. I have no use for the glass under 1000 yards but I still want to shoot it before selling it.

Ulcers are in check for now but acid reflux flairs up from time to time. Pretty much the damage has been done to my gut. The Hypertension is my biggest concern but am able to keep it fairly close to being in safe range with meds and whatever I can get in relax time.

My mail contains a free deodorant sample from their "Adrenaline" series. I'm a junkie for the stuff and 70 hour weeks gives you a leg up in joining me.
It's a bodily
RESERVE for emergencies, not a day to day fuel to run on. It's tough to give up too and may need rechanneling but in a massively downsized manner. It caught up to me at 50 so don't think it doesn't know your name. Just think about alternatives like delegation.

However, for bolt action rifles, I have and use a rifle vise and after leveling the scope while locked into the vise simple look down the bore of the rifle barrel with the bolt removed and line it up with a target about 25 or so feet away. Then I simply dial the elevation and windage into the scope until it lines up with the sight picture of the target down the barrel. Works good. All bore sighting does anyhow is get you close on paper and you have to finish dialing in your sights or scope the rest of the way to be dead on.

Now for the laser bore sighter and my thoughts.
I have one of these
SITELITE
which I use from time to time on my semi auto rifles like the M1A's. Works real good for these rifles with flash hiders or muzzel brakes as tang on sighter is extra long to get through brake or flash hider to actual barrel bore.

To be totally honest for the last few years I've used this bore sighter more to shine on the floor, walls, and furniture, moving the dot around for the cat to chase. Great fun and the cat doesn't seem to get tired with it. Just have to be careful not to shine in the cats eyes.[/QUOTE]
I bought my first laser 25 years ago to play with cats. Now I have 3 cheapo flashlights with lasers added. Just hoping Home Depot gets more back in stock because the white LEDs wear out.
I need to dig up some of the local gunnuts just to try out a boresight.
My two workbenches have side vices I can pad. I've used padded vice faces before and it worked well. Will that suffice as a gun vise?
