Laser Boresighters

[Aldoradave]

Does anyone have a suggestion for a chamber laser boresighter, dedicated for the .308 chamber. I don't care for adapters or 10 minute battery life.

Thanks

I contemplated getting a laser earlier this summer, but I managed to successfully boresight mine fairly easily the mechanical, old fashioned way. I have had difficulty doing it in the past, but I managed to do it pretty easily with the M&P 10. I took the upper off the lower, removed the bolt carrier group so I could look through the bore, and got the upper on a secure platform.
For me, the trick was using something bright that I could see clearly through the bore. I was able to get the bore pointed at a nice bright red coffee can about 25 yards away. Without moving the upper, I dialed the scope so it was centered on the coffee can.
When I took it to the range I first shot it at 25 yards, and I only needed about three rounds there before I took it out to 100.
Good luck,

I picked up a set of ncstar for 50 bucks maybe.. It came with 4 lasers 223 7mm 308 and 3006 I've only set up my 308 thus far and have had no problems sighting my iron sights at 25yds and my nikon at 100yds. Saved a lot of ammo and time

People make WAAY too much of boresighting. It's not magic and it certainly doesn't require expensive equipment. All it's designed to do is roughly alight the reticle in the scope with the center of your bore. Operative word there is "roughly". In other words, it just gets you on paper within about 6 or 8 inches of your desired POI. The further away you do it and the larger your bore is, the less precise it is.

As stated above, simply remove the bolt and look through the bore, then adjust the scope to match what you see through the bore.

"Sighting-in" will still need to be done to fine tune the POA/POI. This is also much simpler than most make it. Learn what the clicks on your scope turrets mean and you can be sighted-in in two shots.

I do have a laser that has the expandable spud that fits into the muzzle, but when I needed it last the batteries were dead so I just wound up using the look through the bore method at 25yd to get on the paper..
definitely not a necessary, just a tool that exist to make mundane tasks easier.....sometimes

I ordered a NC star set (from Amazon) and since I also have mini 14s, can use the .223 as well. I'll post my results. IF this works out I'll finally be happy with my M&P 10s, not a result I expected months ago.

Curios how a bore sight would make you finally happy with a gun?

 

[Aldoradave]

to get the damn gun on the paper. may be a bent barrel, off line rail, who knows with all the other crud i've dealt with with these 2 guns.

ps the Corps didn't teach me anything but iron sites.

Ah, I understand. Have you put irons on it yet? Might be a good place to start.

I will soon have good (I hope) bore site lasers. Then I'll let you know.
