Laser or not. I'd like the know your thoughts on a good boresighter.

I just put a red-dot scope on my Ruger Super Blackhawk and wanted to try a boresighter.

I was given a Site Lite laser bore sighter foe Xmas a couple of years ago and thought it was a gimmick.

But.........once I started using it I found it to be quite handy and pretty darn accurate.

I own a Bushnell (I think it is?) with the arbors that go into the muzzle of the barrel. It does the job of getting me on paper, but I don't particularly care for inserting the arbors - I'm always worried they would harm the crown (which realisticly they probably won't).

I have also used a Leupold collimator. I was surprised that the magnetic attachment to the barrel was precise enough without any part of the collimator being guided by the bore. But it seemed to work well. At least for recessed crowns, this does away with the worry of damage to the crown.

I use the decidedly low tech method of looking down the bore, focusing on a point 50 yards away and moving the crosshairs of the scope to the same POA.

+1 for the Leupold. It gets me on the paper and I don't worry about the crown. Lou

+3 for leopold,have not tried the laser bore sighters. The Leopold will get me on the paper. Sometimes within an inch or two. Maybe I've just been lucky but the results have been hard to believe. Certainly is easy to use.

Buliwyf

That is the boresighter that worked best out of all the ones that I've used.

You can buy them thru Brownells.
