Frequently Asked Questions

What is a laser bore sight and why use one?

A laser bore sight, like the LaserLyte MBS-1, projects a laser beam down the barrel of your firearm. It's used to pre-align your scope or sights before going to the range, saving time and ammunition by getting you closer to zero faster.

What calibers does the LaserLyte MBS-1 support?

The LaserLyte MBS-1 Mini Bore Sight is designed to be compatible with a wide range of calibers, from .22 rimfire up to .50 caliber, thanks to its included set of four different adapters.

How accurate is bore sighting at 25 yards?

When properly bore sighted at 25 yards, the laser dot should be centered. Due to typical bullet trajectory, this usually results in your firearm being within 3-4 inches of the bullseye at 100 yards, significantly reducing sight-in time.

Can I use the LaserLyte MBS-1 on handguns?

Yes, the LaserLyte MBS-1 can be used on handguns, provided they have a minimum barrel length of 4 inches. Always ensure the firearm is unloaded before attempting to insert any accessory.
