| which one do yall use. |

None. They suck and they don't work well enough to bother.
If I can see down the bore, I line the bore and scope up on a target 100 to 200 yards away when possible. I boresight an AR by opening the action, then laying the upper receiver in a couple of bags on top of a stool, letting the lower receiver and butt stock hang down out of the way. Anything I can't see down I start at 15 to 25 yards shooting into a large backer under a bullseye. I use rolls of wrapping paper usually. I got really soured on bore sighters after paying to have a rifle aligned that struck the target 2 feet from the point of aim. I adjusted it to a more correct adjustment by holding the rifle in the air without a rest, then sighting down the bore and scope. Since then, I've tried them a couple more times, and find they are a complete and total waste of time. |

Every gun (or upper) I can actually clamp down and look down the bore, I sight it that way. Takes less than 10 rounds on any AR I've ever shot.... Obviously my .458 SOCOM was the easiest, but even the .308 and 6.8 were very easy to bore-sight. |
| I've always had good luck with my lasers in the muzzle. If you know how to use one properly they work just dandy. I have the ones with the plastic expandable tips for different bore diameters from .17 to .50. The .50 one I had to modify slightly to work in the brake on my .50 BMG Rebel but the first shot was right at 4" high and dead center windage-wise. You've got to remember that the lazer is shooting a straight line, not a trajectory arc like your bullet. I do my sighting at 25 feet with the lazer, and you need to know the distance from bore centerline to scope centerline in order to get real close on that first shot at 100 or whatever yards you shoot at. Of course proper scope mounting comes into play too - no type of boresighting will overcome a shitty install job or a scope that moves internally from recoil. |
