My husband and his friend want to use a bore sighter to sight in their 50 Cal. Black Powder Rifles. Will this work??

It will. It is skinny enough to use on a 22 and a 556 but it comes with adapters for other calibers

Assuming their rifles have adjustable sights it'll work. It's mainly useful for scoped weapons though. If they have scopes on flintlock rifles they have an odd sense of history though ;)

My best guess is that the boresighter will work for .50 cal. I haven't used it for anything larger than 7.62/.30, however there is an adapter which is larger than .30. The boresighter works by fitting snuggling within the barrel. The back of the boresighter is cone shaped and seems to be as wide as .50 cal. An adapter screws into the thin tip of the boresighter and expands to the a greater diameter. This adapter stabilizes the device in the bore. It appears that the both the widest portion of the "cone" and the largest adapter, when expanded, would fit snuggly within a diameter up to .50. As I said, I don't have experience with any diameter larger than .30. I hope this helps. My best guess is that the boresighter will work for .50 cal.

No it will not work because the shaft that goes into the barrel of the gun needs to fit snug and is to small for a 50 Cal.

There's no reason these should not work, as long as the receiver and front sight are the same as what comes on the fixed rifles. By the way, this sighting system works great!

Yes you could use it on that platform, however the balistics won't be as true. Your best option is to get the Nikon 308 scope, as it will give you better performance and accuracy. I make the mistake of trying to use a .223 nikon scope on my300 blackout. The balistics didn't match up and I had no success in getting the scope sighted in. So I went with the Correct Scope,and now my Rifle is a Tack Driver.

Hi. I just placed the boresight on my Mossberg 500. It seems to work fine on the 12 gauge. Have a good day.

if the rail is mounted on the receiver it will work I used it on ars and min 14 if you have a long flash hiderthe pins may not be long enough. This bore sight will get you on the paper you will need to fine tune you shots

Yes, it should work fine. The only problem I found is that the rear screw that holds the sight on will be too short. I put on a small scope so I didn't need to put the rear sight back on. If you do put the rear sight on you will need to get a slightly larger screw. Everything works fine.

Yes. Using the .338 to .357 Cal. adapter the Center Point Laser Boresighter works with my LC9 which has a Lasermax installed.

It should as long as there is the end of the barrel is exposed enough for it's magnet to clamp onto. I was very unimpressed with this bore sight and it's sub par results and returned it.

Yes. There is an arbor that will do 30 caliber bores. My kit included a .177 arbor as well for pellet/bb's. If you want to sight in your muzzle-loader or slug gun you will need to pick up the arbor that handles shotguns and black-powder rifles. Also important is that this will work best on low to medium height scope mounts. The taller the mount, the further up the grid will appear and will make it only useful for centering your windage adjustment. Best of luck...

if your able to put a pictanny rail on it or similar rail then yes it will work, the range will have to be adjusted of course to what the air or spring rifle is capable of same as any other rifle or pistol but yes it will work (seems a bit spendy to me to put on a toy but that is just my personal opinion) also note, if familiar with spring and air rifles, that it will have to be resighted and adjusted as the spring weakens or as the seals in the air style deteriorate or become broken in and weakened where as with a powder style you would have a more constant more long term accuracy with less need for tuning or adjusting

Probably not. It only sends a short pulse of light when it detects a sound (like the hammer or striker). You can get bore sighters on Amazon for like 10 bucks anyway.

Yes and I've shot the gun with both calibers for about a year now and am very satisfied. "note" for about the first 30 to 50 shots may not be real accurate, so after about 20 to 30 shots re-site your scope again and it will shoot a better group!

No problem at all. I added a scope and used the boresighter to sight it in. Worked great

this will not work with that type of sight. It will be below your sight line .it's designed to be on a plane barrel with a BB front sight

It will work. A video I saw in YouTube showed an officer using the bore sight lazer to shoot with, but then he would turn on the red dot under his pistol to hit the "display" or "reset" button to make things easier.

It would depend on the type of bore sight you are using. 7.62 and 308 are both considered to be a 30 caliber in diameter. If you use the shell casing type of laser bore sight it probably will take some engineering to make it work as intended due to the difference in the length of the shell casing. If you use the end of barrel bore sight, it should work fine. I have found the shell casing bore sights are a hassle with the batteries. I have four of laser bore sights and only two use the same battery.

I have used it with a Bushnell TRS red dot on a 16 inch 300 blackout upper, took a while to get it adjusted to the right tension, then placed loc-tite on the adjustment tension screw. Mine is holding zero for over 150 round so far. I think it works because the TRS is very light. The main reason I bought it was it was CHEAP. Really no wasted money if it did not work in comparision to a the cost of a LaRue.
