Laser Bore Sighters

Bore Sighter

I use an old BSA sighter it has always been with in 3 MOA's of on the money. So for 28 bucks for me was well worth the price.
 
I must be the exception to the rule.

I have two SiteLite lasers that are manufactured locally. I have boresighted all of my rifles when I change scopes or remove and re-install optics.

I have used them to check the sights on all of my handguns. The boresighter was the first indicator that my Dan Wesson Valor would be shooting to the left.

I used to do my rifles by removing the bolt and sighting down the bore, but this way is much faster.

You just need to make sure the bore is clean and put some silicone grease on the o-ring and they work fine.

If you have changed out a bunch of optics, they will save you time.

I like them.

I have one for my 7.62 mosin and one for my 870 and they both are extremely accurate. A lot of the time people don't understand how to use it to sight a gun in. You have to understand ballistics and that a bullet, unlike the laser, will drop. So adjust accordingly.
 
My local range will bore sight for free. I let them do that when I get a new scope. It is usually pretty close. I then sight it in at 100 yards (50 yards for rimfire)
 
I agree with jmr40.

I would go one step further and suggest that you can do this at your house as little as 20 feet away. The only difference is you don't line up the elevation on the scope with the dot that you lined your eye up with. Instead you put the reticle over the dot about 80% the distance between your bore and scope.

For instance if the center of your scope is 2.5" over your bore then I would make 2 dots on the target, a lower dot and a dot about 2.2" over the lower dot. Then lineup the rifle bore (eyeballing) with the lower dot, and lineup the reticle on your scope with the upper dot.

This will get you surprisingly close at the range, then adjust from there.
 
Some are better than others, but none are worth the money. Since my 1st post I zeroed 2 rifles using the method I suggested above.

After manually bore sighting a 30-06 my 1st shot at 50 yards was 1.5" left. I moved the scope 6 clicks right and fired shot #2 at 100 yrds and was about 1' high. Since that is about where I wanted it anyway I just proceded to fire 2 more shots into a .312" group with no further sight adjustment.

Rifle #2 was a Ruger 10-22 that could not be manuslly bore sighted. I jus fired a shot. It was 8" left and 2" high. Before firing a 2nd shot I movd he sights 32 clicks right and 16 clicks down. Remember at 50 yards 1 click = 1/8". Shot #2 got me pretty close, but required 2-3 more clicks in both elevation and windage, but #3 was right on the money.

You can spend $20-$200 on tools to sight in your gun, some will get you closer to the bulls eye than others, but none of them will ever save you a single round of ammo when zeroing your rifle.
