No. All laser bore sighting units are calibrated to only allow the beam of light to travel 24.95 yards.
I have re-calibrated one to travel out to 1000m, but it only does this on a parabolic curve during Lent.
It's available to hire for Bisley shots to use.
I think some damage is to be expected - wood particularly should be seen almost as a consumable.
Oddly the folks who cause the most carnage on one of our ranges are the flippin air rifle folks who seem to think that as they are sub 12 ftlbs they should be allowed to take pot shots at beams, supports, tin cans, waste bins, cuddly toys, woks...
I was painting the main prone range recently and there are some suspect holes that you just have to wonder exactly how they got there :)
My point was... if they work past that magical 24.95 yard mark, then there's no excuse to hit the wood work. I bought a cheap one off E-Bay and it was as good as useless at 50 yards, I wasn't sure whether a better bore sighter would produce better results. As an alternative, I guess rifles can only be laser bore sighted during lent...

Bore sighting as has already been mentioned, is THE best way to make sure the rifle groups SOMEWHERE on the paper prior to starting off the scope adjustments
That's OK if you can see down the bore, but you can't with my M14.

The Hornady curved OAL gauge fits, but I didn't know you could bore sight with a bore viewer. I assumed you wouldn't see anything but a bright light outside of the business end of the rifle. Have you used this method before?
Ah I assumed you meant an endoscope, I should have known you'd go analogue. Good idea, in which case there's no excuse for hitting the woodwork, no matter what rifle you're shooting.
