DIY Laser Bore Sight

You can sight in your rifle scope on your own with a universal laser bore sighter and a simple target. A laser bore sighter allows you to adjust your scope for accuracy quickly, safely and effectively. By attaching a laser to the end of your barrel, you send a beam of light to the projected point of impact of your rifle's bullet. Once you know where the point of impact is, sighting in your scope becomes a simple process. Before attempting to sight in your rifle with a laser, make absolutely sure that the weapon is unloaded.
