    Boresighter for 17 WSM?

    Anyone have a recommendation? I have a universal one that goes down to 22 and the only 17s I see are the cartridge shaped ones that fit 17 HMR. Thanks in advance.

    Somewhere around here I have a magnetic one that does not enter the bore. I'll have to see if I can find it to see what brand it is.

            I find it easy to hit paper at 100 yards quickly when I use one. What do you suggest as an alternative?

              Is it a bolt action? Pull the bolt out, block the rifle up on a rest or sandbags, look through the bore untill its centered on a 100 yard target, then look through the sites/scope. adjust as necessary. You can easily get within 6" of your target this way.

                I agree with G-Force Junkie. Using that method got me spot on target with six rounds

                    Ok we got it dialed in. I was just being a dumbass. At 25 yards you can see the red center dot just fine by color alone.

                    Appreciate the feedback.
