Anyone know how to confirm that this boresight is centered to itself?

planetmike, if you have a drill motor; electric, or battery operated, you can carefully seat the boresite into the chuck and tighten it down just enough so that it will not come out. make sure that the drill motor is secured to the bench-table etc. so that it doesn't move or slide around. if this is done properly your boresite will be centered to itself. turn the site on and slowly allow the drill to spin while projecting the lasr beam onto a wall, screen, etc. and check to see if the laser stays on the same spot. if it does then it's centered. if it doesn't then you'll have to start to adjust the axis of the laser with the small adjustment slots on the lasers side. i have never know of these to be off to where one has to make these adjustments. if you do start to adjust the axis it will take time and patience! good luck. john

Unfortunately it has to be re-aligned every time. I use the auto-two star method, still takes a few minutes but by aligning it the telescope takes me to cool things like nebula and galaxies

I just measured it. It forms a () that is 1 1/2 across at the center (horizonally).

It will go from looking straight ahead as pictured in the demo to turning all the way bacwards. It's adjustable for as viewing the screen as much as you would like. You'll have no problem getting it where you want to view it.

Yes, mine is pointed toward the ground rather than up to the sky. I have to admit the unit is failing after a year plus use. I have to either flick the blub or screw the bulb a bit tighter for it to operate. I maybe should replace the bulb but it does stay lit each night by doing this seemingly simple procedure.

Yes, the bezel is incremented every five degrees, with every ten degrees numbered. It rotates to set to your area declination, however it does not have a positive locking feature and you need to double check from time to time, just to make sure your setting has not bumped out of place.

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

Been a few months since I installed it, but I believe it's centered and keyed for alignment.

Probably on the onset no.....but you should be able to adjust the red dot scope to align with the center post. That's what I did.

There is a wheel near the viewfinder with - and + signs. Turn that in either direction to focus the viewfinder while looking in it. :-)

It is pretty much a perfect circle and the bottom is a perfect circle. There is a flat panel on the back, where the measurements scale is slightly indented in. When you hold it in your hand you can tell where the flat panel is, but it still feels circular.

Maybe a foot across diagonally. Range? It will fly beyond your ability to see it. That's when things get dicey!

The bezel turns with positive clicks for every 3 degrees. This is not used for declination correction however. The bezel is designed for indicating a heading - you adjust the bezel so as to line up the N marking with the bezel marking, then the 12 o'clock position of the compass is your direction of travel.

The knobs correspond with the direction on it... Right is right and up is up. Opposite of a typical scope where you move the knob left to go right ect...

Yes it is,but barely. You have to be standing in front of it to see it. I bought it in hopes it was better than the on board illuminator that is built in to my night vision scope. It was not.

I cannot give you a positive answer but I know I turned around once or twice to re-calibrate it for one thing. I hope you have better luck with it than I did. I junked mine it.

Windage is on the left as you look from the rear, and elevation is in the center -top, behind the lens, marked "UP". Great sight, love the precision of the smaller dot.
