I can see myself doing plenty of bore sighting as I setup an AR-15 for wild hog hunting with different sights and scopes. Bore sighting works fairly well for me because the hogs are not far away, under 50 yards. I have rested the upper receive on a 48" step ladder and used pieces of wood to shim the receiver so the bore is aligned with the target. The problem is with the slightest bump of the ladder the project could end up on the ground so I decided to conjure up a jig to make bore sighting easier and safer for the rifle. I should consult with you guys before I build these projects instead of after because you always have some good ideas. I have it finished and plan to sight in some night vision scopes tonight in my back yard.
The center of gravity of the upper receiver is centered to the step ladder to improve stability and lessen the possibility of the rifle falling off the ladder. I included leveling jacks to help align the barrel with the target.
Upper receiver removed to see the jig.
Someone that saw the jig mentioned it will be useful for gun cleaning to.
