I just don't zero in enough optics to warranty me having a nice bore sighter considering I can go around the corner and have it done free.

They do work great though! Will definitely put you on paper.

I have used one similar to the link from optics planet. Mine is specific for 5.56 round. It works the same way and bushnell is a reputable brand. For 28 bucks it would be worth it. Mine was closer to 50 I think. I don't know about Academy though...I generally don't trust hourly idiots with my prized possessions. No offense to anyone working for an hourly wage, I just don't get that "how can we help you today" feeling when I go into an Academy. They usually walk the other way if you make eye contact with them.

Re: Bore sighter gimmick or 'must have'?

I have used one several times on an AR15 when installing optics or new sights. It will get you on paper at 100yds, but not fine tuned. I would not buy one for a pistol but helpful for a rifle that you do not want to waist ammo for.
