Frequently Asked Questions

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

Bore sighting is a method to roughly align your rifle's optic with the barrel before live fire. It's useful for an AR-15 because it saves ammunition and time at the range by getting your optic close to zero before you start shooting expensive rounds.

How do you use the Tactical Elites Site Right 2.0 for an AR-15?

To use the Site Right 2.0, you insert the correct tip into your AR-15's bore. Then, you project a green laser dot. You then adjust your rifle's optic so its reticle aligns with this green laser dot.

What distance should I use for bore sighting my AR-15 optic?

For bore sighting your AR-15 optic, a common and effective distance to set up at is 25 yards. This allows for a good initial alignment that translates well to longer distances once you begin live fire zeroing.

Can bore sighting replace live fire zeroing for an AR-15?

No, bore sighting is a preliminary step and cannot replace live fire zeroing. It gets your optic close to the point of impact, significantly reducing the number of shots needed to achieve a precise zero at your desired range.
