Quick answer
Insert the TPO 6.5 Creedmoor Red Laser Bore Sighter into your rifle's chamber, align the laser dot with your target, then adjust your scope's windage and elevation until the crosshairs match the laser point.
Why use a laser boresight before live fire
A laser boresight gets your crosshairs close to the point of impact before you fire a single round. The TPO 6.5 Creedmoor unit uses a Class IIIA laser (5mW or less) and works from 15 to 100 yards. That means fewer cartridges wasted and fewer trips to the range to get a rough zero.
How to boresight your 6.5 Creedmoor rifle
- 1. Ensure the rifle is unloaded and safe: Open the action, check the chamber and magazine, and confirm no ammunition is present. Insert a chamber flag if you have one. Empty
- 2. Insert the laser boresight into the chamber: Place the TPO 6.5 Creedmoor Red Laser Bore Sighter into the chamber, aligning its body with the bore. It sits snugly due to its caliber-specific design. Common mistake: forcing the boresight can damage the O-rings – push gently.
- 3. Aim the rifle at a target 25 to 50 yards away: Place a target at a known distance within the 15–100 yard range. Rest the rifle on a stable rest or bipod. Common mistake: unsupported aim causes the laser dot to shift – use a sandbag or bipod.
- 4. Adjust your scope to match the laser dot: Without moving the rifle, turn your scope's windage and turrets until the crosshairs center on the laser dot. Empty
- 5. Remove the boresight and confirm with a live round: Remove the boresight, load a live round, and shoot a group at the same distance. Adjust scope from the group center. Common mistake: skipping the live-fire confirmation wastes the boresight's advantage.
