Does anyone have any good links to explanations of how to properly bore sight a rifle? I just bought a 4x32 scope, and would like to find out the best way to sight it in. Are the laser bore sights good for doing this? Thanks! |
I'd stick to the laser bore sights. If you get a collimator type one like me you'll have to add a riser clamp to get it high enough to see it on an AR. Specially if you have a 16" barrel. ETA: Just line up your sights with the red dot, easy. BTW bore sighting is just to get you on paper, you'll have to actually shoot to zero your sight. |

I have a Red-i-Laserand it works great! Unfortunately it works best in low light.... |
I did some searching, and found one type that is basically like a cartridge, and one that uses an arbor slid down the barrel to line it up. How does a collimator type work? The cartridge versions looks good, are there any other makers besides Acu Sight and Red-i-Laser? This would be on a 16" barrel, and I would like to get one that I can use on an SKS as well. Thanks for the links and suggestions so far! |
Does anyone know a better place to order these? Or is factory direct the only option? |

Laser Bore Sighters are awesome! I personally use the one from SSI (www.ssi-online.com) and couldn't be happier. I bought the "kit", which covers every thing from .22 to .458. All you need is a couple of AA Batteries and 18 - 25 of space. If you live around a "upscale" Wal-Mart, they'll usually have one on the shelf for about $45. I'm sure the other major companies have it in their online stores. |
