Laser bore sight for a .22 rifle?

[Arthur Dent]

Does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive laser bore sight that will fit a .22? The iron sights on my .22 rifle are WAY off because the locking screw was loose from a complete tear down and cleaning.

If we knew where you were someone might offer to help? Just sayin.

I have one of these and it is great. The wire to the laser from the battery pack feels flimsy so I just make sure to protect it and not bang it around or let a bolt slam shut on it.

I've got one on the southwest side of Indy you can borrow if you are close.

The problem mentioned in the reviews is not the wire to the battery pack. That is a concern, but it is manageable. However, every one of the reviews (well, I only read the first ten or so) on the Amazon link indicated the unit wobbles in the barrel, creating a multitude of dots instead of the one dot needed to sight in the rifle. I have not used it, have not tested it, and have no vested interest in it. I just thought it advisable to point out to fellow ers that many have had problems with the unit. The reviewers on the link were nearly unanimous in their decision to send the unit back for a refund.

Just a heads up. Y'all have fun.

I will look into that. Price is right, too.

I have the little bushnell laser boresighter. It works ok. It's not dead nuts accurate, but it's within about 3-4 MOA, ceratinly enough to get you on target and then fine tune later.

I'm in Bloomington if you're nearby.
Also, I usually sight it with boresighter in at night (beam is a bit weak for daytime -- perhaps ok in shade)

Doesn't anybody shoot anymore? Eyeball it, go to the range and try it at 10 yards and adjust it.

Right?!?

 

[ol' Huff]

No. We can't just shoot it!? Technology MUST be used.

An 8.5x11 piece of paper is 34x44moa. That's a lot of adjustment. A standard velocity .22 zeroed at 25yards only needs to come up 28-30 moa to be on at 200.

You can't imagine a scenario where it might save a life to be able to mount an optic or go hands on with an unfamiliar weapon and have it modestly accurate within 5 minutes verses a half day trip to the range?

On my .22 rifle the front sight is held firm with a set screw. When that came loose, long before I noticed since I wasn't the primary shooter, it greatly shifted the point of impact.

No.
