This video is a discussion about boresighting a 12 gauge shotgun for use at a turkey shoot competition and it’s benefits and disadvantages. Also does it really work and can it take the place of patterning your shotgun?
I have 1 gun that a bore sight won't fit in because of a tight custom chamber. I have a stock open sights gun that it is actually pretty close but it's just a rough in tool.
Finally another person who explains why those things are worthless, 100% worthless. I have purchased them for my shotguns as well as rifles and what he explains is 100% correct. Place one in the bore of a gun that is securely mounted and leveled longitudinally and laterally on either a good bench rest or good quality tripod, place the laser in the breech and as he said slowly rotate it, you will see the laser dot moving all over the wall/target. Some of these lasers have tiny set screws that are supposed to center the laser in the breech BS, its like pouring sand down a rat hole, you will never be successful. Thanks for this video.
I had to turn one down to fit chambers. As a builder it will get your customer on a large pizza box other than that the large pizza box has more value than the laser. Bolts and break actions give you an opportunity to see down the barrel then get scope closer. If laser os your only option at least it should get you on a large pc of paper. Btw my barrels are trued both front and back to .00005 then machined. Gundrilled is the straightest material you can get.
The laser placement inside these bore sites that I have are just way off, the one if I rotated in the chamber at a target at 60’ it would probably make a circle 4’ in diameter lol. I’ve had a lot of luck out of your barrel thanks Greg
I have seen other "experts" say they work well, and actually do this thing called range demonstration. Maybe no time was put into the simple process of boresight alignment. Must have stock in ammo mfgs lol. Good luck all.
