Laser Bore Sighter

[msrider]

Hello firearms guru's,
I recently purchased a very nice Ruger M77 in .243Rem.
It has a Redfield 2-7 22X30 Widefield scope on it. I am heading to the range and would like some opinions on the laser bore sighters that you actually place in the chamber. I know there will be some fine tuning to zero the scope once the bore sighting is complete. My main concern is are these the best/easiest way to bore sight. Here is a link to what I am looking at, www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/horizontal-pod.jhtml?id=0012850&navAction=push&navCount=1&indexId=cat200006&parentId=cat200006&parentType=index&rid=&cmCat=MainCatcat20712. Another question is are these visible outside on an overcast day? Thanks in advance for your replies.

msrider; I would think the beam's location on the target should be quite visible on an overcast day. You can contact Aimshot for more detailed information on their bore sighters.

For the best method of bore sighting, or zeroing a rifle, depends on a bullet's trajectory. I bench rest mine, starting at 25 yds, some zero at 100 yds for point of aim, and adjust the sights to compensate for distance after that.

Thanks for the the advice DA. I have purchased a bench
rest with two padded vises for support & repeatability.
I have a really nice outdoor public rifle range at my
disposal that even has nice shooting benches for
me to set my sight vise on. This will be a first for me
setting up a scope so I am trying to learn all that I can
prior to my trip to the range. I am sending off an e-mail to get more specifics on the laser. Thanks for your response and time.

I have an update from Aim Shot. In bright sunlight
their laser is visible out to about 100 feet. On
an overcast day or at dusk or dawn, the laser is
visible for 100 yards. I only hope it stays overcast
here in southern OH this weekend like they are
saying it will.

One tip to help see a laser sighting dot in daylight - get some 3M Scotchlite or Manco/Duck 'white' reflective tape at K & Wal- Mts or Office Max/Staples. A circle of it cut out & placed over the X-10 ring will help reflect the projected laser dot back much brighter.
