The other place is The Gun Room, just off I-40 at the Watertown exit. Turn back toward town (north) on Hwy 70 and the shop is on Briskin Lane, first left north of the interstate. More nice folks.

There's also the Reloader's Bench in Mount Juliet. Get off I-40 at the Mt. Juliet Road exit and go north. Reloader's Bench is in a little strip commercial cluster on the right a couple hundred yards north of the interstate. Look sharp or you'll miss it, and if you pass Captain D's you've gone too far. Academy Sports is also at the same exit, a little further north. Reloader's Bench reminds me some of the oldtime gunshops of my youth. Stuff piled everywhere and guys sitting around BSing. Their business model is "we got anything you want, it just might take us a while to find it."

Take care, and have a good trip.

I can’t really divulge that in good conscience. If used incorrectly, the consequences could be catastrophic, for the poor soul who uses it in a situation it wasn’t developed for. You see, it’s a very complicated theory I came up with shortly after I got married. The mathematical proof alone, took over 12 pages, front and back, and consisted of a very complex series of calculations and equations, much akin to my search for the Unified Theory, (which by the way, I’ve also been working on in my spare time over the last thirty years…and yes…I’m very close).

The need for the “Ice Cream Principle” arose after the first time my wife asked me to go to the market and pick up some ice cream. Being newlyweds, my wife was, as yet, unaware of my tendency to sometimes lean towards the weird and unusual, if not bizarre. I’ll just say that the choice of ice cream I came back with after that trip to the market, haunts me to this day. After that trip, I quickly realized that I needed to come up with a bomb proof theory that would allow me to avoid the unpleasantness I experienced after that trip, should I be asked to make any trips to the market in the future. So after painstaking research and mathematical calculations bordering on alchemy, I finalized the “Ice Cream Principle.” I will tell you it’s one of my single greatest accomplishments. It works, it’s infallible, but, only if used with the skill that’s taken me years to develop. So, you can see why I can’t reveal to you the intricacies of this very powerful theory. But there’s another reason.

Shortly after I developed this principle, in my delight at its success, I decided to submit it, along with the mathematical proof, to certain esoteric scientific publications for peer review. Little did I know what a can of worms I opened. My submission was intercepted and I was paid a visit by men in dark glasses who represented various and sundry governmental and quasi-governmental covert organizations. I was warned in no uncertain terms, that the contents of my proof must never be revealed to the general public. That it would cause, and I quote “a ripple in the fabric of American society, that couldn’t be repaired.” Yea, these guys are pretty dramatic, and I was scared. I protested and told them that if used correctly, my principle would cause harmony among husbands and wives everywhere for all time. That was the problem, or so I was told, the government just can’t allow that to happen. Whereupon they seized every scrap of paper, all my notes, and any other evidence the “Ice Cream Principle” ever existed. In my haste to submit my findings I failed to copy my copious notes, so I was left with nothing. I tell you for a long time I lived under the “Sword of Damocles”, even now, while I’m typing this, I’m looking over my shoulder.

So, now you know why the secrets I discovered, such a long time ago, can never be revealed to anyone.

Oh, and as for the collimators, I can’t decide, that laserlyte thingy looks pretty cool, around here its "gun accessory wasteland", Christmas time you know. I have to make a trip to Nashville on Saturday; I’ll see what I can find there. Thanks guys.

It has a grid that is useful as you can mark where each rifle is on the grid when it is sighted in. That way if you change scopes you can adjust the new scope to the same grid and it is really close. Or if you bump your rifle you can put that in and see if it is off from where you had it.

I've used a couple of 'spud type' in the past and they worked well. I like the magnetic attachment better as it is simple and universal. The link above outlines how to use it at a somewhat high level.

I have no experience with the one you show but it appears to be a quality item and I'd expect it to do what you need.

Too much? No good? Overkill?

Thanks

New model Leupold => http://www.midwayusa.com/product/675745/leupold-zero-point-bore-sight

This Bushnell looks like the first Leupold => http://www.midwayusa.com/product/195769/bushnell-magnetic-bore-sight?cm_vc=subv1675745

There's probably better prices if you shop around (Midway has crept up over the last few years).

Thanks
