Laser Boresighters?

[ilikeoldguns]

May not be in the right place, but are these tools any good? Are some better than others? They seem to be available in a wide range of calibres.

Sorry of this is the wrong sub for this. Thanks for your time.

I have a set that I use all the time. There's many different manufacturers and they all do the same thing,so,no one particular brand is better than the other that I've found. IMO,they're easier to use than a conventional "grid-type" muzzle-attached bore sighter.

I've never found the need but some swear by them..

Depending on how often you swap out optics, they can be a worthwhile investment. I like how much less work zeroing a rifle takes with a laser boresighter. I don't swap out enough scopes to justify the cost of owning a really nice one, I just borrowed one from a friend, but if I did, I would love to have one.

I will never use one again in my life. To risky putting a black object in my barrel.
Go 25 meters and have a little larger target.
JMHO. Not trying to start a thread war.

Wheeler makes a magnetic one that sticks to the outside of the muzzle. Spendy, but nothing enters your breech or bore.

Yup be careful doing it at a range. I blew one up that way ... Was use to a laser sight and red dot at different zeros... Brain registered all good... But oh fffff that was the boresighter.
