What feature of the rifle is adjusted during the sighting-in process?

During the sighting-in process, the primary focus is on aligning the sights or scope with the rifle's barrel so that the point of aim matches the point of impact on the target. This adjustment ensures that when a shooter aims at a target, the bullet will strike where intended.

Correctly sighting in a rifle involves making precise adjustments to the sights or scope, which can be done vertically or horizontally to achieve the desired accuracy. This process is essential for any shooter to ensure they can hit their target effectively, whether for hunting or target practice.

Other features like barrel length, trigger sensitivity, or stock material do not directly affect the immediate alignment of the sights. While trigger sensitivity may influence shooter comfort and shot execution, and stock material can impact overall rifle handling, they are not components that are adjusted during the sighting-in process specifically aimed at achieving accurate aiming.
