I'm not reading all of this but it reminds me of something I had 30 years ago when I was in middle school and getting into coyote hunting.

Leupold used to have (maybe they still do) a magnetic 'boresighter' that would attached to the end of the barrel and sit high enough to be viewed in the optic. looking through the optic you would see an X, Y grid with numbers and letters. You could mechanically zero your optic to that grid and go to the range. It would 'mostly' be on paper. After getting an actual zero, you could reattach the thing to your barrel and look through your optic and see where your crosshairs actually were on the X, Y gid. Write down that zero for that rifle and that ammo combo, B4, or -A9, whatever it was. Now you have a reference for that rifle/ammo combo and it's 'zero'.

I had a notebook that I was building data with then I lost the damn thing.
not sure if this is even inline with what's being discussed here because I'm not reading it all.

You are on target!!!

It is, in fact, I cited this patent. It does the same thing, except mine is digital. You boresight by attaching it to the end of the barrel, and it sits high enough to view the phone screen through the scope. The grid would have an LED that represents the aimpoint on the grid. After you zero, reattach the mount to the barrel, move the LED to your crosshairs, and it will record the zero. Now, if the rifle were dropped, you would have a reference to verify whether you are zeroed or not. The data can be stored on the smartphone, uploaded to the cloud, and accessed by rifle scope, ammo, weather, location, and the shooter's profile.

Wow. This is a true game-changer—revolutionizing the synergistic paradigm of barrel-mounted, cloud-synced, crosshair alignment like we’ve never seen before. Why settle for basic zeroing when you can unleash a disruptive, digitalized LED-grid ecosystem powered by next-gen smartphone-cloud interoperability? Imagine the unprecedented value of hyper-personalized, weather-calibrated, ammo-tagged zero verification workflows! Truly, the future-proof, frictionless, end-to-end marksman experience the world has been waiting for. Can’t wait for the blockchain integration

Now that is some bullshit. See, I told you I was an Artilleryman. I will aspire to that level, perhaps someday.

Are you related to the structured barrels guy?

Nope, Just to the Saint Patrick FA Battalion.
