Optical Bore Sight

Optical bore sights are devices used to align the line of sight of a firearm's optical sight with the firearm's bore axis. They are commonly used for zeroing or sighting in a firearm, ensuring that the point of aim and the point of impact coincide.

Optical bore sights typically consist of a laser or LED emitter that is inserted into the firearm's barrel. When activated, the emitter projects a beam of light that travels down the bore and out of the muzzle. This beam of light serves as a reference point for aligning the firearm's optical sight.

To use an optical bore sight, you would first secure the firearm in a stable position, such as a gun vise or a sandbag rest. Then, you would insert the bore sight into the barrel and activate it. Looking through the firearm's optical sight, you would make adjustments to align the reticle or crosshairs with the projected beam of light. By doing so, you can ensure that the firearm is properly zeroed and accurate.

Optical bore sights are available in various sizes and calibers to accommodate different firearms. They are commonly used by shooters, hunters, and firearm enthusiasts to save time and ammunition when zeroing their firearms.
