Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Reticle-Tru alignment device

I bore sight at the range too.
Usually takes about a total of 3 rounds.
Two to adjust it
One at 100 for the zero.
All done.
Im sure the Reticle-Tru alignment device is an excellant tool.

Just ordered one, you can save $18 if you order a blem. Sounded like a good deal to me.

I would give it a try but they wont ship to Canada....

Should work as well. That's a good deal.

That's a great deal. I've been using mine for many months now, can't imagine mounting a scope without it now.

Doesn't have to be pretty to work...

Let's leave my old lady out of this discussion...

Hope she doesn't read your stuff, or we may be "reading" about you....

No worries, this ain't Facebook, and she doesn't follow it.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

The tool uses two Vee blocks. One Vee block is set against the objective bell of the scope. The other block is slid down until it locates against the rifle barrel. Then you use the bubble level to level the action/scope which places the scope and rifle centered in the vertical plane. The body of the tool has a slot milled through it (window) which allows you to line up the vertical crosshair with an external reference (plumb line). You then level your ACD and it's good to go.

Thanks for that explanation.

I guess that one is the closest to Jerry's innovation. The Reticle Tru just cuts out the level part and the barrel "V" block, using only the axis of the action to index the reticle orientation. Similar idea with the slit, just simpler.

Can a guy order one of these and, if so, where please?

Thank you, sir.

Got mine today, looks great, I'll be trying it out just as soon as my new to me k2.5 gets here.

In email exchanges with Jerry, he informs me that he's sold some blems but was surprised that they weren't moving as fast as the production run.

Jerry is a perfectionist and to him the tool must be absolutely perfect to be a production run item. They had a run with some machine marks, hard to see without close scrutiny.

This photo shows a blem and a perfect production piece. I can't tell the difference and he says one has to hold a unit up close to tell the difference.

I think the price break on the blems represents an opportunity.

BTW, the "blem" is on the left.

DF

I couldn't find the blem on mine either...

Mine is on the way. Can't wait to see how it works.

The Reticle Tru makes life a lot easier. I got one from Jerry, and it's worked very well once I got passed a few challenges that were purely a matter of using the device correctly.

You just have to make sure you take Jerry's advice and move your eye side to side lining up the reticle with the left side of the slot and the right side, to make sure that it's perfectly parallel with the slot. Then make sure the pointer is aiming at the very center line of the tang or bolt shroud/firing pin, and you're good to go.

Very straight forward.

Mine works great.

Jerry is "old school". He once showed me a stock that he hand checkered. It was flawless. It was also his first try.....

We've been good friends since we were 17. In the fall of '75, we hunted everyday before school. A time or two we pulled into the parking lot of the high school with critters in the back and rifles in the rack. Nobody ever said anything. Those were the days!!
