If you don't have access to a bore sighter, you can use the method for bolt action rifles that I actually prefer.
#1. Make sure that your scope is set to mechanical center (helps with clarity and light cathering to have the scope as centered as possible without having to crank the adjustments just to get to paper)
#2. With the bases and rings on the rifle, I like to use alignment dowels to make sure that your rings are true and you will not bend the scope to conform to the rings, not a good idea for obvious reasons. If there are some issues you may need to lap and or shim your rings for proper contact.
#3. Now lay the scope in the bottom rings and install the ring caps to about finger tight. With the rifle in a solid bench rest, aimed out of a window, find a target that is about 100 yards away. With the bolt removed from the rifle, sight through the bore of the rifle to your "target" that you have selected. Now look through your scope. You can use this to address any shimming issues that need to be taken care of also.
#4. Once you have it pretty close, you can tighted your rings and make any adjustments with your scope that you need.
I have always had better success using this method than by using a bore sighter. Good luck and enjoy that rifle.
