What is one economical way to assist in the boresighting process?

Using a collimator is an economical and efficient method for assisting in the boresighting process. A collimator allows the shooter to align the rifle’s sights with the barrel by projecting a target in a manner that simplifies the alignment process. It often features a lens system that makes it easier to see exactly where the gun is pointed in relation to the target, allowing for adjustments to be made accurately before live firing begins.

Collimators are typically less expensive and more straightforward than laser sights, which may require batteries and have additional costs associated with them. While red-dot sights are certainly popular for quick target acquisition, they are generally more costly and serve a different purpose than boresighting. An ebony eyepiece, while potentially useful in certain optics settings, does not play a direct role in the boresighting process. Therefore, the collimator stands out as a practical and budget-friendly solution for ensuring that a firearm is accurately sighted in before heading to the range or the field.
