The NEf is easy to bore sight. I put a scope on mine the removed the stock from the barrel. I put the barrel in one of those Black and Decker Bench Mate vices . I then looked through the barrel and lined it up with a driveway light in a neighbor's yard. I then adjusted the crosshairs on the scope to get the same picture. When I went to the range ,I was 3' low and 3" to the left. A couple of adjustment and I was dead center ! Great shooter !  :grin:
