Anybody have good luck with a laser bore sight? What about the cheap ones you see on Amazon? I've got a Marlin 45-70 I can't get on paper.

Iāve found that with laser sites you get what you paid For. Iāve gone cheap all the way to expensive and these 2 have worked best for me: Wheeler Professional Laser Bore Sighter with Magnetic Connection, Multiple Caliber Usage and Storage Case for Scope Mounting, Gunsmithing and Maintenance https://a.co/d/eN9X7gxSiteLite Ultra Mag Green Laser Professional Boresighter https://a.co/d/eId1H1c

Only used one occasionally, when a gun I canāt remove the bolt from gives issues getting on paper from mechanical center. Looking down the bore works as good or better than any laser Iāve ever triedā¦.works even on lever guns.

Get a big target like a poster board and shoot it at 25 yards. If youāre still off the paper move it closer. Adjust scope accordingly.

I'm going to be a chime here......
25 yards to start. I use the Wheeler Bore Sight above and usually get it on paper easily but a lot of time I just look down the barrel like Modux mentioned. That should get your covered. You can always move closer but if you continue to have issues check your scope first you should be able to get on paper at 25. Usually if not you've got a scope/mount issue and even then that's been pretty rare for me to not be able to hit the paper.

I also bore site by looking through the bore and adjusting at 100 yards and rarely am I more than 8 inches off bullseye. Normally it's 6 inches and under.
You can't do this with autoloaders.

ARs are autoliaders;)
Truck is to do your bore sighting at looong rangeā¦.water tower a mile away, etcā¦.then youāre almost always on paper at 100, and adjust on first round, then group and adjust as you prefer.

I always check the center of the vertical cross hair first. Put a vertical and horizontal line on the poster board. Shoot at the middle from a rest , then adjust the crosshairs to the hole.

I use a cheap one that adheres to the muzzle with a magnet.Center it the best I can,then bring the crosshairs to it on an object at 20 yards.Never had one be off more than 6ā at 50 yards on the first shot. I use to sight through the barrel but this is a lot easierā¦
