Laser Bore Sighter

[The Whip]

I am looking for a quality laser bore sighter for rifles. I see they can range from 30.00$ up to 200.00$

Thanks

( Sorry if this is in the wrong section lol)

what you pay for is what you will get. I got a cheapy off Eslime and with some work it is now quite good. The bore studs were junk, but I made some new ones and it is now a decent unit.
How often do you intend to use it ?? Otherwise just take it to a shop and pay the guy 20.00 to do the deed.

I may only use it once a year, but it gives me the option. Nearest gunsmith is two hour round. My fuel and time (X2 drop off and pick up) makes me look at doing it myself.

i've had one and went back to the bushenll optical- first, you need a MINIMUM of 25 feet of clear throw - then, you can't see the ones i've tried in daylight( rec-t-fire) and the batteries were somewhat unique- with the bushnell, it's a matter of sticking the spud in the barrel , tighten it up, and then adjust- then REMOVE THE SPUD- there's a few examples on here of folks that FAILED to do that- have one again- NOT ON YOUR LIFE
the only time you need a bore sighter of any kind is when you're using a pump, lever, or semi- with the bolt, you just pull the bolt, and look through the bore, and set the scope and the bore so there's coincidence-
remember- the bore sighter will ONLY GET YOU ON THE PAPER- the FINE TUNING has to be done at the range and with the ammo you hunt with

Thank you t-star, I may remove the bolt and try it that way.

Any other help regarding a laser bore sighter is appreciated.
