THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Bore sighter. Marmite. Some find them handy & very usefull. I find one very usefull, not used much but a handy bit of kit at times. Some think they are a waste of money. Well made & not cheap so I regard it as an investment. If you change scopes or rifles once in a blue moon then yes, waste of money. Any one use them & can put up good reasons. Personaly I thought I'd never need or use one, now I've got one I've realised over the years It would of saved me so much grief with offset mounts & scopes that were slow to adjust or even just stopped working. The haters will say waste of money & useless. Any lovers out there with a good word for them Simmons, Bushnell & Hawk do bore sighters & the Hawk is also called a shot saver.

harv Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Bought a new rifle couple of weeks ago took my scope with me to the shop,fitted the scope and used a boresighter for me, not even on the paper! I removed the bolt boresighted myself in the field and straight on the paper, waste of money to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 waste of money imo; only one i ever found useful was one for a shotgun, shaped like a 12ga shell so fit in the gun like a normal cartridge and shine down the barrel. only time theyre useful is if you want to do the box test on a new scope without firing off any shots, and even then imo a green laser that bolts onto your scope is more useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had exactly the same experience 3 times with the same gun shop. The mark 1 eyeball is a lot more accurate and cheaper than a bore sighter.

Harnser Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Bore sight at 100 yards and start on the paper at 50 yards ,simple . If you are then unable to zero the rifle with no more than 10 shots you need to take up golf . Harnser .

Dekers Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Bore sighting by eye is not exactly hard work and I have always got it on the paper that way. I have 7 FAC tools and do change mounts/scopes/stocks/ammo a reasonable amount, I also know when I need to re zero. This requires a shot or two, no bore sighter is going to be good enough. I personally have no use for them. ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckchuffer Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hello all, I am back from the dead. I need help as my bore sighter is not working very well anymore, I used to be able to spot boring people from 200 yards, now I can't even spot them when they talk to me. Please, please help me. Regards, DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
