Getting bore sighted isn't getting zeroed, these are good for getting you on paper saving time and ammo but will still require a few shots to get you zeroed at your chosen distance! However once you are zeroed fit bore sight back on the rifle and note the position of where the cross hair is on the grid for future reference 👍
I've owned one of these for Years. Good to get on paper Fast. With ammo prices up Use a big target at 25 yards To get on zero. Use a ballistics Calculator or extend Target Range from there. No arbor For .17 or 50 cal. Good product To have.
A great video and review but you missed the greatest benefit of having this type of collimator. The first part is correct to get you close to target. Stage 2 is to zero at your chosen range. Stage 3 is to fit the collimator back on and read the Z and Y axis of the grid. You then write this down with the zeroed range. You can get your reframed for each range 30, 40, 50 meters etc. And then write down the X and Y axis for each. Then the next time you want to change or check your scopes zero you just adjust to the X and Y that you wrote down for that particular range. Also, you need to make sure that the retinal in your scope is exactly square with the collimator crosshairs.
.22 rifles bullet drops quickly, just a suggestion, when zeroing your scope, lower the elevation by. 5 to 1 box for say 100yrd to allow moa drop compensation then when firing you adjust windage. If your rifle is bedded correctly, barrel is straight, scope even pressure on rings and level, you should be good for target shooting. Great video though! Thanks
If you make a chart like this one you can sight all your scoped rifles in and mark down on the chart what power each of your scopes were on and what bullets weight and speeds and distance’s are and where on the chart you are sited in at with each gun .no shots ever fired again sighting in your scopes ,just put in the bore sighter next time and match everything up again
+Steve Brown i have no idea i only used and shot bolt action rifles, i have no experience with the AR platform. as for the Bushel Bore Sighter in this video, i only use it with the bolt actions with standard base and scope rings for hunting scopes. sorry i could not be any help. thanks for the question.
Steve... this will not work as shipped for AR's (and other scoped rifles). The whole problem is that there's no way to change the height of the bore scope (collimator) to coincide with the sights, or horizontal line in the rifle scope reticle. It looks to me like someone figured this out a long time ago and filed a Patent which Bushnell seems reluctant to pay royalties and such for. You can however use your mind to come up with something that will enable you to use the arbors and the collimator.For a rifle scope you need to measure and calculate the center line of the barrel and the rifle scope centerline. that distance is the distance you need to raise the Bushnell collimator.For iron sights... you need to know distance from the barrel centerline to the top surface of the front sight blade. The centerline of the collimator needs to be set to this distance. This will position the front sight/collimator such that the rear sight should be in a neutral position when the elevation is adjusted (this is your starting point). Basically what we're doing here is getting rid of geometry errors based on sighting lines. If you make a mount for each of your rifles and or pistols, you will have a good setup... I have yet to use a LASER bore sighter that worth anything.
Someone please tell me how this works without being able to adjust the height of the boresighter above the bore. How would it work for different ring heights for example?
Level, level, level is wasted money. You only need to level the rifle on it's rail, attach scope, hang a weighted string/yarn from overhead (plumb bob), set vertical reticle by the string. Fast and easy.
Christopher Bost ...Agree 100%, however, that is mounting a scope and squaring it to the bore. This video obviously shows the NEXT step....boresighting.

Good tip.
the man in the Video said it only gets you on paper
Good suggestion, but the part about only getting you on paper was covered as someone else pointed out.
Good video. You showed exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
I've owned one of these for
Years. Good to get on paper
Fast. With ammo prices up
Use a big target at 25 yards
To get on zero. Use a ballistics
Calculator or extend Target
Range from there. No arbor
For .17 or 50 cal. Good product
To have.

I bet MHG TV off line wishes he'd said that 🤣
Thanks a lot for the best video that i've seen,you show all what we need to do without talking more
Hi from France, thanks for your video I found really good and informative .
thanks for the help guy. WAY easier than trying to decipher and translate bushnell's 3 step instructions. lol
Excellent camera work ! my neighbor has one of these I have got to use it to put me on paper.
I enjoyed the video very much, thank you.

All us loyal subs are wondering when you are going to make a video before the years end.
Good stuff! how can you verify that the adapter is plumb?
Good video
Thanks for the video. Good job.
Rapaz e muito bom mesmo
Thank you for making this video, amd this might be a really stupid question : Can this be used to sight in iron sights ?
Per the instructions you can.
Did any one notice my Call of Duty care package on the couch in the back lol I converted it into a gun cleaning kit
Boa tarde com que eu compro um colimador desse aqui no Brasil e mais difícil a compra quero uma dica sua como faço pra pedir um
I want to buy this type of bore sighter kit but I have tried many places but not getting if you have so please give me one piece.
Would this work with an AR style rifle with a higher scope, maybe even co-witness?

Scope height is the problem, so I use the grid to just adjust for horizontal and shoot @ 15 yd to get on paper
Yes.
Once you have got the scopes cross hairs lined up to the center of the squared grid, is this then zeroed to 100 yards?
no Sir.
still need to Zero in at 50yds
looks like it is a tiny bit off level on the vertical......maybe one click to the right ,or tweek the boresight into plumb?
Nice show of the collimator but I feel like this is a really bad example on how to be responsible/safe around guns.
Good video, thanks! Is that Alaska?
British Columbia. Stuart Lake
Someone please tell me how this works without being able to adjust the height of the boresighter above the bore. How would it work for different ring heights for example?
THIS WILL NOT WORK with rifles with muzzle devices...It worked before I threaded mine
Youre scope is crooked. You couldn't see the sideways tilt on the cross hairs??
Thank you all for the views and likes and dislikes, comments, if you don't come back good morning, good afternoon, and good night.
I hope you have a very large house, or go outside
Your rifle is boresigthed at 100?
what ever camera you used those two red dots in the upper right corner are distracting me.
What if your scope sits higher?
I bore sighted a .22 with it and it worked ok. The rings were extra high or see through rings.
See my reply at the top
"Amber"? You mean 'arbor', right?
beantwortest du Fragen?
this only work in low mount scope or litle one!! my scope is a 60mm and point to hight for this even with maximum down elevation
@RGB - Then you need to Re-set your turrets if you have no movement left.
There is a dead bear on your floor.
Level, level, level is wasted money. You only need to level the rifle on it's rail, attach scope, hang a weighted string/yarn from overhead (plumb bob), set vertical reticle by the string. Fast and easy.
Christopher Bost can you show how to do it please any advice to learn more

Sorry had to stop watching at about 4 .10 . You need to get your camera work under control .
doesnt know what hes filming
Get you stuff together before you start, get professional.
