Frequently Asked Questions

Do red dot sights come pre-zeroed from the factory?

No, red dot sights, even those installed at the factory, are not always perfectly zeroed. It's a common misconception. It's best practice to confirm zero at a standard distance like 25 yards before live fire to ensure accuracy and save ammunition.

What is a bore sighter and how does it work?

A bore sighter, like the Tactical Elites Sight Right 2.0, is a tool inserted into the firearm's barrel that projects a laser. You align your red dot optic with this laser, effectively bore-sighting it and saving time and ammo at the range.

Why is bore sighting important before going to the range?

Bore sighting ensures your optic is roughly aligned with the barrel before you shoot. This significantly reduces the time and ammunition needed to achieve a precise zero on paper, making your range session more efficient and cost-effective.

What is the recommended zero distance for red dot optics?

A standard practice recommended for zeroing red dot optics is 25 yards. This distance provides a good balance for many shooting applications and allows for effective confirmation using tools like bore sighters.
