From a hunting perspective I think that a laser bore sight can be very valuable if you take it in the field with you!  I had to experience my own stupidity on a trophy hunt and my rifle and scope gets knocked around or dropped. I was in Texas this past October on a Trophy Whitetail Hunt and banged my rifle and scope a bit. I missed a shot one evening on a very nice buck. Truth is, was it a banged scope or me as excited as i was. Or perhaps a combination of the two. There is another possibility as well, that my scope was dialed up so high that it was difficult to keep the crosshairs steady. In any event, I did not have a laser bore sight in my backpack to validate the scope. It was now night time. So I asked myself and my guide; “Should I take the same rifle out in the morning or use my backup rifle?”

The answer was to use my already proven back-up rifle. 

But what if I had no back up rifle?

I would then have to wait for daylight and go to the range with the banged rifle scope to see what was happening and miss the critical dawn whitetail hunting.

A laser bore sight device is made by several manufacturers.

I have seen Jim Shockey advertise the Site-Light SL-100. But seeing is believing. I will try to hunt and field test one of their models here this spring. 

They make three models. The SL-100 is cost effective at $99 dollars via most retailers. The SL-150 is $160 or so. The SL-500 is military grade at over $200 and can be seen out to 100 yards.
