Laser did not seat into chamber and was off as much as an inch in 25 yrds between movements. Sometimes stuck in chamber. Having to be removed with cleaning rod. Did get me on paper. Overall saved ammo and worth the money.

Saves some ammo but could not get is to work in the cold. When it works it is great. You also have to wait till dusk or nighttime to use it or you can't see the laser...

I bought one for my M4 and one for my SCAR 17s. In my SCAR, the bolt closed the breach on accident and that cartridge got jammed in the barrel. It was a PIA getting it dislodged. I broke a cleaning rod trying to hammer the cartridge back out of the chamber. Use with bolt actions ONLY!

First time I laser bore sighted a 7.62X39 during evening twilight in my backyard at 20 yards. Next day, I went to the range and was on bullseye in three rounds and blew center target out with 17 more rounds at 20 yards. Next try, I sighted in a .223 and .243 in three rounds at 100 yards using the same method. Now I stay in the house and laser bore sight on the wall across the room , go to the range and sight in my .308 in three shots at 200 yards. You can use too much ammo to get on paper, pay a gunsmith each time you mount your scope or buy a Laser Bore Sighter and get zero with your rifle in three shots. I've got them in 7.63x39, ,223, ,243 and .308.

Great for bringing my scope into the target zone. A bad set of batteries made the first attempts to use this impossible as the laser kept going out and needed resetting to on (again and again) until finally it started working by staying on. Very frustrating but eventually when it worked was a great way to align my scope sighting.

Aside from being a few dollars more than I'd like to spend, this is one of the best bore sighting systems, IMHO. It's easy to use. It's accurate beyond one those universal plastic ones are. And, it's extremely durable in it's construction. Would highly recommend!

This bore site takes the difficulty out of obtaining accuracy, plain and simple. I've tried others, and this caliber specific approach is quality and the right way to bore site, IMHO.
