Any recommendations on a brand and will one work for multiple guns?

leupold magnetic is pretty nice

Cabelas has a good one with their name on it

Laserlyte is pretty good.

Just a good old style boresighter with arbors still works best. Bushnell, Simmons, Tasco they all work the same and will get you on paper better than anything else.

2x on laserlyte, and there laser sights. Great customer service.

i bought the cheapo from academy made by BSA and it works fine.. its like 25 bucks and its for all cals..

You can always remove the bolt, put an X on the wall, look through the barrel and adjust from there. It actually works

Have used this one for about 30 years. It always puts them on paper at 100.

cheapo, pull your bolt, look down the bore, look thru your scope and go from there, or the 2 shot method, take a shot, move crosshairs to that shot, then aim for bullseye, it works...and the Laserlyte for about $50 will get u very close.

I sight all my muzzleloaders by pulling the breech plug and sighting thru the bore.. on paper everytime. Cheaper than a bore sighter.

Thanks folks for the great advise.

x2 on the bsa. it works great and is cheap.

A bore sighter is the biggest waste of money in the hunting world.

I have a Bushnell with the arbor. It won't get me on paper at 25 yards. I prefer to pull the bolt and look down the barrel. No idea how you would do that on a lever action or semi auto.

I have a Bushnell with all the arbors to fit everything from a 17 up to a 50. Bet I have used that thing 100+ times and it has never failed to get me on paper at 50 yards. Most of the time its within 4" or less.

I disagree. Mine has paid for its self many times over in the form of not wasting ammo while trying to zero it in.

JCB, I even sent mine back to Bushnell. It still won't do as well as boresighting.

I have one its in the attic and only gets used a few times a year. If you would like to use it I can probably get it to Scurry thru a THF express.

I agree that with a bolt gun the easiest & cheapest method is to pull the bolt and look through the barrel, but if you really want a boresight then the Leupold zero point is the way to go. After your gun is zeroed you put this thing back on the barrel, read where it puts your center crosshairs, mark them on the supplied card and you can always recheck your zero without firing a shot. I don't know how this magnetic thing works but absolutely every time you put it on the barrel it will read exaclty the same spot, even if you move it up & down. Definately worth the $70 bucks I paid.

I've done all of mine like this since the beginning, it's always worked well for me.

LOL... Thanks for the offer TEXASLEFTY.. I'll pass my wifes Grandfather had one. No one has used it since he passed 10 years ago I just need to pull it out of the closet.. Or I might try pulling the bolt. Thanks though.
