Re: Bore sighter gimmick or 'must have'?

Save your money. If you need to sight in a rifle at 100 yards, set up a target at 25 yards. Sight the optic or sights in so that the point of impact is about three-quarters of an inch below and directly under the point of aim. That distance, which will vary a bit as a function of the sight height over the bore, is created by the mechanical offset between the line of sight of the optic and the line of the bore.

That will get you on paper at 100 yards.
