Bushnell Laser Boresighter

[fizzbangwhallop]

Bought a Bushnell, sent it back. Rubbish.

Fitted it to a barrel, pointed it at the wall, held it tight in the barrel to keep it central and twisted it. Result: the laser dot on the wall moved in a 2" circle at 10 feet, which is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard for accurate alignment.

Perhaps I was just unlucky.

I bought one of these a few months ago, and found that it was not up to the standard that I had come to expect of Bushnell products. As a bore sighter it was not very accorate, and I would go so far to say it was more of a bore aliner to get you on the target, but not to accorately set up your scope without shooting. You can test for alinement by sticking the sighter in a cordless driil and spinning it slowly. If you get a circle on the wall you know the sighter is out. What you are after is a single dot. You can improve the sighter by putting it in a lathe and using a dial gauge to centre it, but it is a right work up....Bushell have brought out a new unit where you rotate the front of the laser to turn it on/off. It has four grub screws around the front, bot mine were deformed and useless for adjustment of the laser. I think you have to ask yourself is this worth the trouble. I would say that there is nothing wrong with the idea but the engineering quality lets it down.

Never had any problems with mine used it on 3 different rifles so far a 97k, hw100 and a 95k all been spot on...yeah you got to ajust elevation about 4-6 clicks at 30 yards but thats expected. The Bushnell I use is the second version where you screw the lazer eye down and fully down i may add dont just leave it loose just because its on...maybe thats the problem some people have? maybe? no problems here with my Bushnell Bore Sighteronly ever used on .22 i must add aslo...no problems here, just check your using it correctly is the only advise i can offer.

They are what I would call sub standard, I tested mine in a set of "V" blocks and at 10 feet traced a 2" circle, there is no way of making any adjustments so got one from China that is fully adjustable and works fine. They are a great tool for checking POA for NV kit.
