reminds me of the time i got off a mid shift and went out to chronograph a trap gun that used a release trigger, forgot about the release trigger and shot my chronograph, went inside and laid down.

Ouch!
Seems like something you would see on mythbusters.

Had a friend put his 7mm mag rifle in the rack behind the seat of his pickup and he pulled the trigger. Forgot that he had chambered a round.
He then had a nice hole to mount his CB whip intenna.

There are accounts across time of everything from lasers to frozen mud that has caused things like this.

They actually tried this on the show, and it was very hard to cause a catastrophic failure like this. |

I think I have seen this before, so maybe a few Christmas's ago? 
That is one durable bore-sighter. 
I fired my buddies .357 while leaning across the hood of his '70's Landcruiser. 
Once. 
I'll never do that again. The hearing in my right ear has never been the same. Must have come close to shattering the flat windshield.

I leaned across a ford pickup and fired a 30.06 at a deer, the report left a dent the size of my fist on the top of the hood.
My parents owned a rifle and trap range, I have seen a few gun failures but never as bad as that. What is wrong with sighting in rifle the old fashioned way by actually shooting it?

We used our bore site to get on paper, then we tweak the scope to shoot bulls eyes.

Can't see if it's a bolt action but if it is he should have simply removed the bolt and sited through the bore with his eye. That's how I started with my Remington BDL. Then mount the scope and fine tune it.
Do I see a Darwin Award coming?

Hope the guy is OK..it's a real shame to get hurt doing something kind of stupid like this..
I belonged to a gun club for many years and most memebers operated their guns in a very safe and respectful manner, but at times especially if booze was in control..things went wrong. Hope this wasn't the case.
