Is this worth the money?

It's not that hard to sight-in a scope on an air rifle may it be a springer or a PCP, chaz. But if you just want to try out a laser bore sighter there's no harm on buying one. I haven't used one and probably won't. I'll just probably use the extra money buying pellets for a lot of plinking time. :D :thumb: :cheers:

A laser bore sighter for $18? What the hell, if it don't work, you can use it to annoy the cat or something.

Looks like a basic tapered-expanding squib and a generic laser that fits on the end. I wouldn't count on it to be too accurate at more than 25-35 yards, but for an air gun, assuming the squib goes down to .177 (and I don't see any reference to the squibs minimum fitment) your only down $20 to find out.

I've never needed a bore sighter... bit if it makes your life easier, give 'er a shot. (no pun intended) :p

What are the recommended steps to sighting a new gun in for a new user?
