Laser Boresighter..?

[Potenza]

For preadjustment is it a bit accurate, and wich model are the best this one in the chamber or in the muzzle..?

Those things are really kind of worthless. The laser won't reach out far enough to even zero at 50 yards, or the one I bought wouldn't. If you were to do it indoors, say dark garage, and got the reticle-dot to line up you'd be so high at 100 yards you'd be chasing it bad. Ever just pulled your bolt and tried to get it to match up to a 6" dot at 100 yards?

They may be fine for tuning pistol sights indoors, but rifle, save your coin

I find them handy to get you closely sighted in "on paper" for your initial 50 yd sight in. You can waste a lot of ammo if your initial scope settings are way off. I also found a LBS is pretty accuarate with getting your windage close. I picked up an inexpansive Bushnell BS for about $25. Worth it IMO from less ammo and time used getting on paper.

I don't see how boresighting at 25 or 30 yards could be any easier than it already is.


Prop the rifle steady somehow, look down the bore and center the bull, move the sights to center the bull in the sights and fire a test shot. You should be pretty darn close with the first shot, assuming your eyes aren't too bad.

Mine works well for sight in at 50 yds. even during the day. I wouldn't go hunting or start a match with the laser borescope sight in.

Some rifles do not have easily removable bolts, ARs, AK, Semi autos, and most single shots.

+1, I have both and AK, and an AR and have been experimenting with red dots and scopes back and forth between the two, and like I said, I like LBS's for a quick accurate initial sight in. When I first mounted a scope on my AK ( a QD side mount) the scope was WAYYYYY off on elevation and windage so it was helpfull in the sense it gave me a quick ballpark identifier that my scope needed serious adjustment without even firing a round..
