    Depending on your chamber, a 7.62x39 version may work.

    My SiteLite SL-150 laser boresighter works great.

      If you wish to bore sight an AR-15, simply remove the bolt carrier from a stationary upper and look down the bore using the naked eye at an object ~100 yards away, then adjust the scope accordingly. Works surprisingly well to get the first shot on paper.

          Drifter, great suggestion. That's the way I bore site my setups. I would assume that's where the term "bore site" came from. I once watched a frustrated shooter fail to find paper with a gun shop" bore sited" bolt gun. He watched in amazement as I pulled the bolt, adjusted 96 clicks (24 moa) on the scope, and he put the next round about 1 inch left and 1 inch low at 100 yards! It was pretty cool.

            Ditto, I've been doing it that way for years, and it works like a champ.

              I use the same method, with paper offsets for closer ranges around the house. I used to sight-in a lot of guys' rifles working at a gun shop, and they always said they were on paper at 100yds. Remember to loc-tite bases and rings on the bolt guns, red for bases and blue for rings. I still use blue for rings on AR15's.

                Had a similar experience 4 weeks ago.
