Hi everyone, not sure if I searched wrong but I was surprised to see nothing came up on bore sight options.
I'd like to get my scope zeroed at 100M and was considering a boresight tool to help. There seems to be a vast array of choices, most not visible beyond 25M. Is this perhaps not the best way to go? is there a non bank breaking bore sighter that's worth having? |

Bore sights are not necessary, but helps you to get your first shot on paper. I've only used Aimshot laser bore sights. You turn it on and insert it into the chamber. Now you tune your optic to the laser dot and remove the bore sight. You'll likely get your first shot on paper. From here on out you zero in the optic.
You don't need a bore sight if you fire your first shot at a closer range. You'll likely be on paper with your first shot. Make some major corrections. Then step out to 100 yards to finish zeroing it in. |

I'm never 100% certain that my first shot will be on paper either. All you can do is see where your first shot lands. Let's say your first shot doesn't hit the paper. You could hold to the right (left, up, or down) and fire a shot and see if you hit paper or just walk up closer to the target and fire a shot.
Laser bore sights are kinda cool because they are pretty cheap, they work and only takes a minute to tune the optic to the dot to ensure that your first shot is on paper. They work great for indoor use, but not so hot for outdoor ranges UNLESS it is getting dark out. You can bore sight your optic at home by pointing out a door or window at a target so doing it at the range is not required. They are not terribly expensive so if you feel better using one then that's perfectly fine. |
