Chamber Boresighters for rifles

[RobbinsHGray]

I’d like the best Chamber Boresighter I can get for my 223/556, 308, 30/30, and 338 (more options would be even better but if best means separate systems that works). 223 is the immediate need.

Seems like green laser would be best. Price is no concern.

I’m looking at this: AimShot Master Rifle Kit Laser Bore Sight with External Battery Pack and 16 Arbors in a green laser https://www.aimshot.com/borearbors.php and am interested if anyone has any experience with it? And/or if there are any you can recommend.

I’d really like it to be daylight 50 yard visible if possible but I could go to an indoor 25 yard range if I had to.

Waste of time and money. Pull the bolt (or remove the bolt carrier group from an AR), sand bag it up and look down the bore at a target placed at 100 yds. Center the target in the bore, then carefully move the turrets until the crosshairs are centered on the target. Cross check as necessary to make sure that the target is centered in the bore and the crosshairs are centered on the target simultaneously. If you do a careful job, you should have no problem being on a 18" square target paper on first shot.

I was in the same boat - I was tired of spending the rounds to get on target, so I spent the $$$ on a laser sighter.

I have a Site Lite with the green laser - seems to be a good idea. The best part of the the Site Lite is the Ballistic Targeting System. I put my data in and it suggested I zero scope at 45.6 yards to put me right on at 100 yards. I tried to use it in bright daylight and it was difficult to get the laser on paper when I just threw it out there. If I had taken my time and put the laser on target at 8 yards and then walked out, it probably would have worked. But that's not how I do things so I just set the target up at the suggested 45.6 yards. Since I was in a hurry and having trouble getting the laser on paper at the suggested distance I pulled the bolt and looked through bore to adjust the scope. When I went to shoot at 100 yards to fine tune, it was scary close at 100 yards.

It has o rings specific for bore size as well, and it is difficult to tell which size to use (they aren't labelled or color coded or anything - but it isn't THAT difficult, I was just in a hurry).

Overall the jury is still out but I think over time it will help me, once I really figure it out. . If you want to save time and be within a few clicks at first shot at 100 yards it will work.

have sighted through the bore and have had great success.
Usually less than 5 rounds for a zero.

Bingo x 4......save your money, look through the bore. Do it at 50 yrds if you want, it's a bit easier and will get you on paper at 100.

Waiting for someone to create a small laser for the Hornday modified case , that screws into the threaded "primer" pocket ... dont know why someone hasnt dont this yet, the ultimate in bore laser sighters

I mean....50 yds range ans 2 shots to get in ball park.......100yds rage and 3 shots max to get zeroed

Use cheap ammo and youre talking like <$5.......

I bought a flip chart like you see at work presentations... you can get them at staple or whatever... it's like a 3 foot by 4 foot piece of paper with 1" grid. I hang it up and bore sight it then fire 3.

It's big enough that you don't have to be right on with bore sighting and you can use the grid to help with adjustments or just mill it in the reticle.

My neighbour has helpfully placed his house, so the end of the peak of his roof is exactly 100m from my dining table. This has been extremely useful when boresighting (no lasers, just eyeballing) as I have something easily distinguished both in the scope and through the bore of the rifle.

With very little practice, it's quite easy to get the first shot at the range onto a piece of A4 paper at 100m.

I have the laser cartridges, arbor lasers that go in the muzzle, I have a Leupold magnetic boresighter. In my book the only ones that are worth a crap is looking through the damn barrel. NONE of the other methods have worked for me. I will say that they are pretty close with windage, but for elevation looking through the barrel (if possible) is the best bet

I have the Sitelite model that comes with a mini ballistic program that tells you how far to put the target from the laser module I have not tried it yet so, I can't really say if it works yet. I'll have to give it a go next time I have the time to sit down and go through the process
