Clamping Rifle Rest

1
I came across a method of sighting in a rifle that uses just a couple rounds. You shoot a few rounds and see where they group. Then you adjust the scope so you’re aimed on the center of the group, not on the target center. That zeros the rifle.

Anyone used this method?

Seems to me that you need a sled or rest that can clamp the rifle in place well enough that you can keep it still after shooting while you twiddle the dials.

What options are out there that would do this?

I usually just pull the bolt, set the rifle up with a couple sandbags, then by looking thru the bore at a test target 100' out.

Then check the optic or sights to see where they point.

Adjust to agree then test fire, it gets them real close.

A tweak to the elevation is all that is usually needed.

Works for every rifle I own.

some rifles like the garand-types you can't see a clear line down the bore because of the way the receiver is made. they make mirrors or more recently boresight lasers for this.
me, i put a couple rounds on paper at 25 yds, adjust sights accordingly
go out to 50 yds, lather rinse repeat,
same at 100
not efficient but then i'm not in a big hurry.
i'm retired. what's your excuse?
