I bought the Tacticon Laser Boresight for .223 Rem 5.56 mm NATO to help me properly sight in my AR-15 Commando rifle. I will use this boresight to align the iron sights and scope without wasting pricey ammo and avoid problems with law enforcement (I live in a city where discharging a firearm results in a hefty fine and possible incarceration). In the past I have tried a boresight too that inserted an arbor into the barrel bore and allowed you to sight through a scope attached to the arbor. I was always wondering if I set the scope to the proper height since the AR-15 has a carrying handle which is offset a few inches above the top of the receiver. The laser boresight aligns with the bore of the barrel so there is no offset to be concerned about. A football field would be an excellent site to sight the rifle to 100 meters (field is 109.73 meters form goal line to goal line) but it is also on the premises of a school (share by school teams and city rec department) so carrying a firearm there may turn out to be a no-no.

This review pertains to a PSA 10.5” AR pistol in 556/223. I ordered this bore sight not knowing what to expect due to some of the negative reviews. Needless to say due to my rating, I was pleasantly surprised. Before measuring, I had to throw it in the chamber to see if it at least points straight. It does! Absolutely no reflection from the barrel walls or indication of being off centered. Now to the measurements.I used a caliper and checked all dimensions. As far as the outside diameter of the sight compared to a 556 round, it was within .005” at all points. The overall length of the sight was 1.745” compared to the 556 casing at 1.760”. With only being a .015” difference, I figured this is the gap between a 223 and 556 round. As I understand, the 556 is just very slightly larger but I don’t have a 223 to compare with at the moment. I’m not sure how much, if any, this sets the sight off center.Conclusion, this sight appears to be accurate. I haven’t been to the range yet so if there’s an accuracy problem, I’ll be happy to update my review. But I don’t anticipate there will be. I’ll also add, I’m only sighting at about 30 yards at home and I normally shoot at an inside range so I won’t be able to speak on long range accuracy.

I loaded the bore sight at home, strong laser, was easily seen across the house and good focus. I had read that loading it into a drill and spinning the drill, adjusting the sight until it stopped making circles on the wall was the way to perfectly dial the part in. Well, there is no adjustment screws, so I assumed it was on from the factory without any evidence to assume either way. Now, I got an email from the company assuring me of helpful customer service if I have questions. This alone is why I give the part the benefit of the doubt. I had already been to the range 2 times and had no luck dialing in my red dot. I went to the range today, fully confident my troubles would be solved in short order, but the midday sun made it impossible to see the laser even inches from my face, much less 25 yards. Ultimately the range matter dialed my sight in within minutes and the bore sight is tossed into a pile of other equally potential tools and parts I've bought in my ignorance of basic sight adjustments. The mounts, risers, quick connects, straps, sights and other various garbage that I could have bought another gun with the money I've wasted trying to find the perfect setup. I would not call this a waste of time, but if you aren't trying to set your sights in the dark, out at least indoor range, you may have little use for it either.

Spot on my iron sights at 25'. Will hit the range and zero my scope with this as soon as I get a kitchen pass. If the scope is an easy as my iron sights, I'll be a happy hunter. Only negative is getting the batteries in the case. My fat fingers would not work those little buggers without making them flip. Had to use tweezers to load those little batteries in properly. I should have made a paper sleeve, but only thought of that after I got it loaded. However, in case the batteries fall out, use a piece of paper to hold these in a stack and then slide that down into the tube. Use a toothpick to hold the batteries down and pull out the paper...works like a champ. Finally, when you unscrew the lid to prevent the light from being truned on when not using it, put a small piece of plastic, over the hole, then press the cap into the hole with the plastic in place. It will hold the cap and prevent the electrical contact from occurring which will obviously drain the batteries in short order. You could just remove the batteries, but don't forget the tweezers or a piece of paper to load them back in.
