[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1013224, member: 796"] Trying to sight a gun mounted in a vise will not give the desired results. A gun recoils and vibrates as the bullet moves down the barrel. For a handgun, a Ransom Rest approximates normal shooting by allowing the gun to recoil. For mass produced guns, the sights are installed more or less centered or boresighted, and you're on your own for final sighting with adjustable sights. Fixed sights are installed as designed for a specific load, which may or may not be what you intend to use. Custom guns are often sighted for the specific load to be used, firing the gun normally. Costs $$ for custom labor. [/QUOTE]
