I need to get a new bore sighter and was thinking about getting a lazer one. I need this for my hand guns, rifles, Contenders, maybe my shotgun.

I need some advise on which one to get.

Thanks,

Jerry

I have a BSA mechanical one ands it does the job. It's probably easier to use instead of the laser cuz you don't have to set up a target to sight it, you can do it in your house if you want. It doesn't do shotguns tho.

I have a mechanical optic bore sighter at the moment, but I also have a 100 yard range in my back yard. I think for me the laser is the better method, particularly the ones that can be chambered.

This afternoon is was about 60 outside so after so farm work, I sat at smoking bench and punched some paper.

I have seen those on the NRA Store website before, they seem to be good, but I would like to find somebody who has used them.

Thanks,

Jerry

I've heard those are pretty good cuz they are completly lined up with the bore, but I haven't used them so I'm not sure how good they really are. Also how does the machanical one work? Is it pretty accurate, I had a scope that I used mine on but the scope broke at the range so I don't really know how good it works.
