Subject: RE: Laser bore sighters



Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
Local hardware store has a regular boresighter, sometimes I'll just take a rifle by and let them boresight it. Free for regulars. Only takes a few minutes. Advantages to the laser ones aren't much really, only more expensive. A boresighter will really only save you a couple of rounds on a sight in. Overrated IMO. Handy for a gunshop but you can buy a lot of shells for the price of those things.

Usually I'll just 'boresight' it myself. Set rifle in a rest or vice, pull the bolt out and sight down the barrel at a spot on the wall. Then, without moving the rifle, set the crosshairs at a spot 1" above that spot. You'll be on a target at 25yds first shot usually, for free. Adjust after a shot or two at 25 for your trajectory at 100 and your set. Seems to me to be as accurate as boresighting.

There is no boresighter made that can get a rifle sighted in very close at 100 yds. The only way to do that is practice, with the ammo you intend to shoot, and 100 or 200, whatever the zero is.
