I am for ever having to bore sight in rifles prior to zeroing them and have become quite a dab hand at the process however things get award when it comes to semi auto rim fires so invested in a Laser Bore Sight kit from that well known auction site. Now it was quite a risk given the huge investment, OK it was under a tenner delivered. Anyway it arrived last week and I had a chance to test it on a couple of semi autos before heading down the range. We have a target attached to a door (Always locked) in the workshop so I can zero at 10m and keen to try with a rifle with a known zero I bunged the supplied batteries into the device, fitted the little plastic taper thingy to the end, turned it on and pointed it at the target.
Good news, I could see the laser dot in bright light so I settled down with a chair as a suitable rest and sighted up on the target. Amazing, it was nigh on perfect for windage and a tad low. Putting this down to luck I rotated the device and incredibly the dot stayed in the same place. To say I was impressed is an understatement. I checked with another rifle, same result.
I hauled another rimfire out, attached a 'scope and it was 6-7 inches high right so I adjusted the turrets down to the same point as the last two had pointed and voila, one sighted in S/A and all in under a minute. All I can say is if you are swapping glass on little rifles they are well worth a look.
