Well I bought the First Strike red dot sight and have put it on the gun ( but not loctited and screwed everything down good). I am wondering 2 things:
1- location of sight- ok the eye relief seems perfect for me at this, as seen in pic, just checking to see opinions. But a riser would help I think for overall comfort, however, I don't want to having sighting in issues due to it being higher on the gun.
2 boresighting? I don't have a 12 ga boresight, just a .308. Would sticking it at the end of the barrel work ok, since it is a shotgun and the sight is 5MOA? At what distance to boresight to adjust the red dot? 20 yards, 25? I want to get a good hit to 40 yards, maybe more.
I am anxious to get this working for me with a proper pattern so I can go out and try to call foxes in!
