Thread: Bore sight Lazer way off when rifle is zeroed

They are bloody useless. I've always eyeball bore sighted and can get on to the target at 100yds with first shot. Although @No good names left has nailed the issue with them. If you have one, roll it along a flat surface and watch the large circle it draws on a wall.

To bore sight I use an insulator on the power pole in the neighbours paddock, about 100 metres away, as the target to bore sight. I then add a few clicks of elevation and I'm good to go at 100yds.

However, I do own a laser but the only reason I bought it was to speed up setting up my optical chrony, when I had one.
Otherwise I'm pretty adverse to putting anything in the muzzle.
I nearly had a disaster once when setting up my chrony, I forgot to remove the laser. A the last minute I realised the laser was still in the muzzle. And by last minute I mean I was behind the rifle ready to chamber a round. After that I developed a practice of removing the laser from its plastic box and then sitting the bolt on top of the box in the laser's place.

I've also got a Leupold collimator. Long since discontinued by Leupold. I wonder why. It attaches to the muzzle magnetically. It give a different result from rifle to rifle so not reliable either. And no, my muzzles are not on thepiss.

I alway chuckle to myself if I'm in a gunshop and a staff memebr is setting up a scope for a customer using a laser. Few boxes of ammo probably sold at the same time.
