What an amazing little device. I was taken back by the accuracy of this magnetic stick and not all to sure it was not just a gadget. I recently purchased a Remington 700PSS and a Leupold Mk 4 6.5 x 20x scope. The .308 rounds are around $1 a piece and I don't have that many opportunities to go to a distance range for sighting. Thus the attraction to a boresighter. It didn't dawn on me until it arrived that this device operates much as a Fresnel lens does to land a plane on a carrier deck. You have to get the angle just right and then you look through your scope and see the etched target that Leupold miniturized for you. Adjust your crosshairs to match theirs and you are on the paper! The trip to the range the next day confirmed I was 8 inches off at 100 yards. Where this is not a miracle, it is more than acceptable in my book for getting me where I need to be. Two adjustments later at the range and I am shooting 1/3 inch groups... I highly recommend this product.

I can't believe how easy this is to use. Just attach to the muzzle and adjust your scope (the opposite way you want the crosshairs to go). Both rifles were less than 3 inches off at 100 yards at the range.

I purchased some scopes for my weapons and took them to a buddy of mine house to mount, I was discussing zeroing the scopes and he pulls out a device then sticks it to the end of my barrel then lines the retical with the target... the slickest thing I have ever seen so I purchased one. I'm telling you... this is cool, a monkey can do it. The ONLY negative is I have yet to find a way to use it on a M4A2 due to the carrying handle/scope mount is too high for the bore sighter.

Contrary to the other comments, this boresighter not only works as a boresighter to get you "on the paper", you can then use it to zero your rifle. After performing the boresighting correctly per the instructions, with your windage and elevation adjusted to match up with the center of the Zero Point grid, you then remove the boresighter and take a single shot at your target. Assuming you had your rifle rested properly and got a "good" shot at the center of the target, and your shot is "on the paper", you can then put your rifle back onto the rest and put the Zero Point back onto the end of your barrel in the same position and center its grid over the center of the target. (You can see through the Zero Point grid to your target). You can then adjust wind and elevation on your scope one more time to match up its reticle with the point of impact of your shot on the target, and you have then zeroed in your rifle with only one shot. Leupold calls this the "One Shot Zero".
If you are not sure that your shot was a "good" shot, you can shoot three shots and verify that you have a close grouping. You should let your barrel cool a few minutes between each shot. You then replace the Zero Point on the end of the barrel, place its grid centered on the bullseye of the target, and then make windage and elevation adjustments to your scope so that its reticle matches the center of your grouping.

This gun has put me on paper with any caliber I've tested it with. The sight system won't put you on bulls eye, but it does cut down on the amount of ammunition needed to put you close at 100 yards.

I love this lil' gadget, it was difficult to understand the instructions at first, but when I addded the Zero Point to the end of my barrel (@ 1.5")and looked through the scope, I instantly knew what to do, adjusted my Zero Point, to fit the reticle on my scope, & then adjusted the reticle to align with the "target" on the Zero Point. I then removed the Zero Point from my rifle, shot my target (100yd). Placed the Zero Point back on the barrel, saw my point of impact(POI), & adjusted the reticle to the POI, removed the Zero Point, & shot again & it was SPOT ON! Leupold's lil' gadget is a wonder of remarkable engineering! You do hafta remember to turn off the Zero Point in order to save battery life, but that's besides the point!

I see that the other company has adopted the end of the muzzle magnet onto their zeroer, but Leupold's FIRST & FOREMOST the ONE! Accept no immitators!

If you have any AR or AK type rifles, you need this boresighter! It works great on a Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle/scope. It's hard to go wrong with this jewell!

This item was not what I expected. For me it was very hard to use, in fact I never did get it to line up with my scope. The instructions were lacking as well. I ended up sighting in my rifle the old fashion way, this cost me a few bullets, and a paper plate, but that was way cheaper than this tool.

After awhile I just tossed this thing to the side and sighted in with a box of rounds. Seems completely useless, other than as a refrigerator magnet. You have to be on the range to fire the first shot before it can be used. Once you do it doesn't say how far to place it on the barrel. Maybe it would be useful if the instructions actually described how to use it.
