Frequently Asked Questions

What is bore sighting and why is it useful for an AR-15?

Bore sighting is aligning your rifle's optic with the barrel's bore before live fire. It's useful for an AR-15 because it significantly reduces the number of shots needed to zero your optic at the range, saving ammunition and time, especially with expensive calibers like 5.56x45mm NATO.

How do you use the Tactical Elites Site Right 2.0 laser bore sight?

First, ensure your AR-15 is unloaded. Insert the correct caliber tip into the Site Right 2.0, then place the device into the rifle's bore. Power on the green laser and align your optic's reticle with the laser dot at a set distance, typically 25 yards.

What is the recommended zero distance for bore sighting an AR-15?

A common and effective zero distance for bore sighting an AR-15 is 25 yards. Aligning your optic's reticle with the laser bore sight's projection at this distance provides a solid foundation for final zeroing at longer ranges.

What are the benefits of bore sighting an AR-15 with a laser?

Using a laser bore sight like the Tactical Elites Site Right 2.0 offers significant benefits: it saves ammunition by getting you closer to zero faster, reduces time spent at the range, and provides a consistent starting point for optic alignment, especially when mounting new sights like EOTech models.
