Does Bore Sighting Work

There are many advantages to bore sighting- using a laser. First, they are a far more precise method than using your eye. While visually bore sighting a firearm may get you on paper at 100 yards, laser bore sighting will put you much closer to center and will require less ammo in the long run when zeroing the rifle.

Do bore sights work?

Not only does it do a great job when it comes time to start sighting in a new optic, but it’s also small enough to keep in your range bag to make quick adjustments. You know that we’re big proponents of dry-firing — and laser bore sights can be useful tools for that kind of practice — but avoid doing so with this one.

What distance should a laser bore sight be?

A laser boresighter works in a similar way. Some laser boresighters are inserted into the muzzle end of the barrel, others are placed in the rifle’s chamber like a dummy round. These devices emit a laser, which should be pointed at a target about 25 yards down range (always in a safe direction).
