How to Laser Bore Sight a Rifle: A Comprehensive Guide

Laser bore sight is a precision aiming and alignment technique used in rifology to ensure the rifling of a rifle is aligning with the target optics. This method uses a laser bore sighter attachment, which is typically done before zeroing a firearm. In this article, we will cover the necessary steps and guidelines for lasering bore sighting a rifle.

Why Bore Sight a Rifle?

Before we dive into the process, let’s establish why bore sighting a rifle is crucial. A barrel’s rifling (handedness) needs to be aligned with the bullet’s trajectory for optimal grouping and accuracy. The conventional method of zeroing, where you adjust the muzzle elevation and windage tabs, can sometimes leave residual mismatches between the rifle and scope. Laser bore sight helps eliminate this uncertainty.

Equipment Needed:

To laser bore sight, you’ll require:

• (1) A rifle that has a rifled bore (not applicable for blank-firing rifles)

**compatible with your rifle

• **(3) Optional (but recommended): an oscilloscope or computer

Step-by-Step Process:

The boresighting process typically happens in the following sequence: Step 1–Step 6, repeat as necessary to achieve < 1 MOA.

**Step 1: Set-Up and Preparation

1. Cleanliness is key. Check your rifle and barrel
   for any dirt or residual debris that may distort the laser reading. Dry wipe the bore if required.
2. Set aside any optics (epeepers or attachments)

**Step 2: Attach the Laser Bore Sighter

Carefully mount and secure the laser bore sighting attachment. Double-checked that it is seated smoothly and evenly within the rail.

**Step 3: Boresight

1. Aim directly down the bore at night, using white dot reticle (0 or 1 dot setting works best) to establish proper alignment.
2. Keep the laser attachment securely against the barrel until completion and do not disassemble under any circumstances.
3. Turn off unnecessary sights or optics
   on either the rifle or accessory gadgets.

**Step 4: Test and Adjustment (Visual and/or Laser Guidance Provided)

When using a visual reticle (0 dot): you’ll see dot crosshair projected into 3-4 times closer distance than barrel distance along the bore sight direction using your laser sight on or in the visual red/IR dot with some care, the light reflection that can be taken without. This will create.
