This guide demonstrates how to quickly zero firearm optics using the SiteRight 2.0 laser bore sighter from Tactical Elites. The process involves inserting the bore sighter into the barrel, activating the laser, and adjusting the optic's reticle to match the laser point at a distance of 10-15 yards. This method significantly reduces the number of live rounds needed for initial zeroing.

Quick Summary

To zero your firearm optics quickly, use a laser bore sighter like the SiteRight 2.0. Ensure the firearm is unloaded, insert the sighter into the barrel, and turn on the green laser. At 10-15 yards, adjust your optic's reticle to align with the laser. The optic is properly zeroed when the reticle covers the laser point.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use a laser bore sighter to zero an optic?

First, ensure the firearm is unloaded. Insert the laser bore sighter into the barrel and turn it on. Stand 10-15 yards from your target and adjust your optic's reticle to align with the projected green laser. The optic is zeroed when the reticle covers the laser point.

What is the SiteRight 2.0 and how does it help zero optics?

The SiteRight 2.0 is a laser bore sighter by Tactical Elites. It projects a green laser beam along the barrel's axis, allowing you to quickly align your red dot or other optic reticle to the bore's trajectory, significantly reducing the need for live fire adjustments.

What is the recommended distance for using a laser bore sighter?

For effective initial zeroing with a laser bore sighter, it is recommended to position yourself approximately 10 to 15 yards away from your target. This distance provides a good balance for initial alignment before fine-tuning with live fire.

How many rounds are typically needed to zero an optic with a bore sighter?

Using a laser bore sighter like the SiteRight 2.0 can reduce the number of rounds needed for initial zeroing to just a few, compared to potentially 11 or more rounds without one. This saves ammunition and time at the range.
