Firearm scope alignment method and tool

Abstract

A firearm scope alignment tool and method of use. An alignment tool may have a guide component, which may be located at the buttstock end of a firearm, may have a light source component, which may be positioned on the distal side of a scope and oriented into the scope, and may have a lens component, which may be positioned on the proximal side of the scope. The lens and light source may magnify and project the reticle of the scope onto the guide component, which may allow the scope to be adjusted in order to position the reticle such that the vertical line of the reticle is parallel to the bisecting plane of the firearm, as indicated by the guide component.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for a firearm scope alignment comprising:
 a guide component having a guide line on a projection surface of the guide component and being detachably mounted on a backside of a buttstock of a rifle;   a light source projecting a light through a scope of the rifle in a direction to projection surface of the guide component; and   a lens being provided to an eyepiece area of the scope and adjusting the light and a reticle of the scope to be visible on the projection surface,   wherein the scope is aligned by adjusting a position of the reticle to match with the guide line on the projection surface.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the guide component is a single piece and has a slot which is mounted between the buttstock and a buttstock plate. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the guide component is divided into two pieces of projection posts which are mounted between the buttstock and a buttstock plate. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the guide component is a single piece and has two brackets between which the buttstock is mounted. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the light source is mounted on at least one of a barrel and a stock of the rifle by at least one clamp. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the light source is mounted on a rail of a firearm ahead of the scope. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the light source is a freestanding device. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the lens is detachably coupled to the eyepiece area of the scope. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the lens is a stand-alone device. 
     
     
         10 . A method for a firearm scope alignment comprising:
 mounting, detachably, a guide component that has a guide line on a projection surface of the guide component on a backside of a buttstock of a rifle;   projecting, by a light source, a light through a scope of the rifle in a direction to projection surface of the guide component;   providing a lens to an eyepiece area of the scope to adjust the light and a reticle of the scope to be visible on the projection surface; and   aligning the scope by adjusting a position of the reticle to match with the guide line on the projection surface.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the guide component is a single piece and has a slot which is mounted between the buttstock and a buttstock plate. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the guide component is divided into two pieces of projection posts which are mounted between the buttstock and a buttstock plate. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the guide component is a single piece and has two brackets between which the buttstock is mounted. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the light source is mounted on at least one of a barrel and a stock of the rifle by at least one clamp. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the light source is mounted on a rail of a firearm ahead of the scope. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the light source is a freestanding device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the lens is detachably coupled to the eyepiece area of the scope. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the lens is a stand-alone device.
