You can buy a laser bore sight that looks like a bullet that shoots a laser out. You just load it like a bullet and then sightyour scope to match it at the proper yardage. If you can remove the action(like with a bolt action) then you could just sight down the barrel(with the rifle in a gun vise) and then adjust your scope to point at the same thing you see through the barrel.
This happens a lot during bore sighting, - no shock to the scope to jar the cross hairs. So take your screwdriver and use the handle - rap the scope or better just tap it. Not hard enough to bend/dent it but jar it so things can move if need to.
Put the gun in a vise. Look into a mirror and align the crosshairs so that you have one set of crosshairs when viewing in the mirror. The windage adjustment is maxed to the side you are trying to adjust . This will set the parallax of the crosshairs close to zero and allow adjustment in all directions.
The sighting sounds about right to me meaning to you need to adjust the cross hairs i the opposite direction to where your point of aim is. If your sight is off 1/4 inch to the left you need to bring the barrel to the right to compensate and that's what the bore scope/site is doing. Think opposite and you'll have that tuned in a few seconds. I don't doubt that you have the correct mounting hardware BUT, it's from center bore to center scope what 2 inches so at 25'? Depending on what caliber I'd say at 25' you need to hold 2 inches high for center target. I'll just guess that you might not be able to get a zero until say about 25 yards with a 22 short. A larger bore/caliber will extend this out to possibly 100 yards. I'm going to give you a link to a bullet trajectory chart so you can sort of see what it is I'm trying to write. you may need to cut and past this in your browser window.
hi the problem with this is replacing the laser is the easy part and more or less anybody can do it but to get the new laser to work you need to calibrate it this is what the osciloscope is for it needs to be connected to certain parts of the board and then take readings from the scope as your adjusting the laser you cant do this without it as you can damage the new laser if you get it wrong. Now you can fit the laser yourself thats the easy part but the scope costs about £1000 or $2000 so more than a new ps3. If you can buy a working laser out of a damaged ps3 thats over heated then you should find it will work as sonn as you fit it in but new ones need calibrating. Try this so you get some idea of the procedure with the scope use your search engine and type in: how to calibrate ps3 laser or how to calibrate ps2 laser this will then bring up loads of sites that show you how its done with the scope. Its not worth doing it without the scope as you will damage the laser beyond repair but buy the new laser and get someone to fit it and calibrate it for you as that would be the cheapest sollution let me know if you need further assistance ok
If you are trying to adjust an old laser, don't bother it was set at the factory and the laser is wearing out, not going out of alignment. It's very common.
It's been a long time since I read directions for this but as I recall it required an oscilloscope and was in no way easy. If you are up to the task I can try to find those directions again.
