Laser Boresighter
I´ve been watching a Nigel Allen’s vid in youtube were he uses a laser boresighter to save time and pellets when calibrating a scope. I’d like to know the opinion of the people from this forum if it’s worth the investment, and if it is, which one is the best suited for airguns.
Thank you
Patricio

Any barrel you can see through is easily bore sighted. A laser bore sighter can’t show you point of impact for any more than two distances (on the rise and on the drop). Money would be better spent on a laser sight that will be used much more than one time.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
If you have a laser (meaning a weapon mounted laser, not a boresighter) you can zero in 1 shot too….
Shoot gun, make sure crosshairs are on the thing you were aiming at, adjust laser so it is on the point of impact and then adjust crosshairs over to the laser…..
Hey Patricio, not trying bust your nads or anything but I was asking about this same topic here…

looks like the guys here don’t like them much. I still want one though, just cause they’re cool!
Boresighters are great for firearms where you want to save cash, particularly with center fire cartridges, but on an airgun….? Not hardly.
With an airgun, one can install a new scope and in less than 10 shots, be sighted in. Just not difficult to do and i fail to see where a boresighter will expedite the process further.
In fact… if you are using a PCP and have a good gun vise, you can sight in with one shot.
Put up a poster board size sheet of paper… fire a shot…. then look through the scope and adjust the turrets until the cross hairs are on the shot you just took. Done.

Laser is great for one thing to sight in a gun and get it on paper like Rob said and I agree don’t waste you money if all you are going to do with it is sight in your air rifle or rifles, I worked at a couple gun shops when I was younger both had one but they used them when they sold a gun with a scope on it they would always use the laser to sight it in this means they told them it was on paper so they could go out and shoot a couple shots on paper then adjust accordingly don’t get me wrong not trying to talk you out of one they work great but you can sight in an Air gun in about 5 min or less shoot at 20 yds get in right on then move it out to 35 40 and 65 yds your all set!
