This product is junk. I followed the instructions and when I got to the range to see where I was at on the target, it didn't even hit the target at 50 yrds. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

The arbors are loose and non-adjustable. I took this kit back an hour after I opened the box and found that the arbors can damage your rifle bore. Spend the extra money and get a good sighting kit like the Bushnell with expandable arbors.

I bought this bore-sighter kit for my Barrett semi-auto .50 BMG. First of all, the insertion into your actual barrel is just painful. Second, a .50 BMG rifle has a muzzlebreak which needs removed and it was a pain. Third, this stupid thing never held tight and always tilted to the right or left. Fourth, I could barely see it through my optics! Fifth, it didn't work. I zeroed my Leupold Mk IV dead center on this thing, and at 100 yards the round hit upwards and to the left by a good 2 or 3 feet. Absolute garbage. I am returning mine and getting a quality, MAGNETIC laster bore-sight. I can't believe these things work for people, maybe a .22 would have better luck!

Boresighter studs do no fit tight in barrel of guns allowing scope to rotate and not remain in position during bore sight.

Waste of money. The studs do not stay in place in barrel. Put in a gun that was zeroed and was way off.

Cons:  Does not stay centered. always moves and cannot sight in with continuous movement of boresighter. Studs are too loose in the barrel even with the springs to hold the bore sighter in place. awful product.
Would recommend:  no
