Save money and priceless shells

[Tom007]

Lot going on these days with ammunition, especially our turkey loads. A few years ago, I purchased a Site-lite Boresight. I use it for rifles, shotguns. This thing has paid for itself 3 fold. I bore sighted my slug gun when I had to change slugs due to mine being discontinued. It was dead on first shot. It is fantastic with turkey guns, red dots, scopes, sights. It is so precise, I have had a few guns dead on, not needing any adjustment. You can record each gun on a target chart, so if you bump the sight, or travel you can check zero. I know that shooting cheap dove/trap loads also works, but this bore sight has been a money/ammo saver. I thought that I would share this with you all due to our ammo shortage. Be safe, best of luck.

Nice idea. I've never thought of using one for a shotgun.

Good idea.  I would like to find one for a .410.

It comes with different bushings that handle most gauges. One trick I use with the tight turkey chokes is I slip the laser rod through the choke, then I screw the bushing on and slip it in the barrel. This allows you to bore sight the tighter chokes without forcing the bushing in the barrel. Works great....

I agree Tom, I've used one for years with my rifles and shotguns, it has more than paid for itself..

Thanks for sharing! ?

I use one.   I just adjust the red dot to meet the red dot produced by the bore sight.  I still shoot the target though.

Laser bore sights sure do help save on ammo. There was a member here that had a thread on how he did it, with pictures also. It's been quite some time, but i think the member's name was mudhen? I can't remember what sub-forum it was in either, but i think it was similar to what you are describing Tom. It really does work well!

Also...  Don't sight or bore sight with turkey loads...  Use cheap target loads to dial things in, and then use a good (turkey) load to make sure they are shooting where the target loads do.  If they shoot different it will be a small difference.

I've used one for several years.   And just in the last month bought one specifically for the 20 that looks like a shell.   I really like it and it's simple.   Turn it on and put in the chamber.

Sorry Jim, just saw this. I have the S-L 100 model. It fits all climbers from .22 Cal to .50 Cal. -lus 20 gauge and 12 gauge shotguns. No additional  arbors required. I believe it was Less than 100 bucks.

X2, amen. With pricing on ammo, it pays for itself real fast. Be well Greg
