I was curious if there was a device that would basically shoot a laser down the barrel of a gun so one could tell where a bullet should theoretically hit. And then you could adjust your sights to the laser dot. In looking for this device I see that it is called a laser boresight. I have also found 2 basic types of these laser boresights. One that looks like a cartridge and goes into the barrel where a cartridge would go to fire it and one the sticks into the end of the barrel. The one that sticks into the end of the barrel can be used with adapters for different calibers.
Then there is the red verses green problem. My experience with laser pointers has me doubting the ability to see a red dot in the daylight. But it seems like the only green ones are the ones that you stick into the end on the barrel. And again my experience with laser pointers has me doubting the accuracy of something that sticks into the end of the barrel.
I am not new to firearms but I have only recently purchased a rifle. And although it might be interesting to play with a boresight on my handguns I am mainly interested in using it on a rifle. So I don’t really need a multi bore device but it might be nice but the green ones look like they are a bit more then I would like to spend on such an item.
I was thinking that it would be nice if a universal boresight was made that could be mounted and used after boresighting the firearm as a tactical laser sight. Then I could justify the cost.
Do any of you have experience with the 2 different types of boresights? And would you care to share your opinions?
