Save Money and Sight-In Faster with Laser BoreSighters
With good factory rifle ammo costing $1.30 per round or more — a Laser BoreSighter could pay for itself in just a couple range sessions.
Laser BoreSighters — fitted to your chamber — help you get on target more quickly, particularly with factory firearms. Just activate the unit, slip it into the chamber and look for the red dot on the target. The laser dot is about 2″ in diameter at 100 yards, and is visible even in full sunlight. Right now you can get HQ Issue Sight-Rite BoreSighters starting at $19.99 at Sportsman’s Guide (member price is $17.99). These units have a durable brass metal body and the battery will run an hour.

In-chamber BoreSighters are much safer than the kind that you insert in the end of the barrel (or attach to muzzle). If you forget your laser bore-sight placed in the end of the barrel, and then fire a round, you can blow up your barrel and/or suffer serious injury — it HAS happened.
