Excellent pre-range scope bore sighter
I bought this unit to bore sight a S&W M&P 15-22 with a new Nikon scope I just bought. Did a great job, and got me on the target. I have since used it to set up three other scoped rifles and would compare the accuracy with my in-chamber unit that I originally bought in a 5.56 caliber. The nice thing is it is adjustable to different calibers by just changing the supplied adapters. Read the instruction and fit the unit properly and you'll have great results. I've used it with 22LR, 5.56, 7.62 . Great little tool.
It worked as Described.
I had to replace the batteries just a few minutes after using it the first time, but then it worked great on my AR-15. Sighted in Red Dot as instructed, then off to the range. No further adjustments were needed.
same ammo = save $$$
This boresight makes short work of adjusting rifle scopes. Use the reflective target that comes with it, then simply adjusts the scope to the red dot. From there, I took my firearm to the range and was able to make final adjustments. This saved so much time and money on ammunition.
Versatile, fits my .22 up to a .50
This was a gift from the kids for Mothers Day. Very useful tool that will save on lots of ammo at the range. The adapters are easy to use - just a little trial and error to get the right fit for the various calibers. Best part is this one system fits everything from my .22 up to the .50!
Battery dead in 30 mins.
Overall the laserlyte is easy, didn't get the chance to bore sight my other rifles since the battery lasted only 30 mins.
Helpful, but not for .22s
This really helped with a few rifles, but with no insert for .22lr, it was worthless for the rifle I bought it for. The diameter of the bore sighter is too small for a snug fit in a .22 barrel, so it leans downward. If you sight your .22 to this, it WILL shoot quite low. I tried using painter's tape to thicken the sighter, which helped, but still was far from precise. If they only had a tiny insert for .22lr, I'd love this tool. I would recommend it to a friend as long as they didn't need it for a .22 rifle.
just ok
one of the adapters broke immediately, Battery life is near non existent and not easy to find in my area. Turning this thing on/off is a trial and error. would not buy again.
Waste of Time
Wanted to sight in a new scope, but this unit did not permit it to happen. Followed instructions, but laser would not turn on. I reversed the polarity of the batteries and the laser turned on, but it would not turn off. I was disappointed and returned the unit.
Don't buy this item
Not sure where to begin with the issues I had with this device. I have always used an cartage type laser for centerfire rifles but needed something different for a 22LR. The arbor is just under .22 and the adaptor for 22 did not have any chance to centering the tool in the bore. 10 feet from a wall the smallest movement of the laser would shift the dot close to a foot. I then wrapped the arbor with 3M blue tape in an attempt to use the laser. It only took one layer to get a tight fit in the bore and then when rotating the tool the dot still shifted a lot on the target. I gave up and just started at 15 yards to get the scope set up at the range. Took a few more shots to get zeroed but shooting is fun anyway. Note if there was a selection of zero stars that is what I would have selected.
