Description
Setting up a new scope or red dot on a .22 can eat through a surprising amount of ammo if you're starting from scratch. The SME Sight-Rite takes that guesswork out of the equation. It's a chamber-mounted laser boresighter built into a brass casing that's machined to the dimensions of a real .22 LR cartridge, so it loads into the chamber the same way a round would and shines a crisp laser dot right down the centerline of your bore.
How the Sight-Rite Boresighter Earns Its Keep
The whole idea here is getting your point of aim and point of impact close before you ever pull the trigger. Drop the Sight-Rite into the chamber, project the dot onto a target downrange, and adjust your optic until the reticle lines up with the laser. Most folks find it gets them on paper around the 25 yard mark, which is exactly what you want before switching to live fire for your final zero. It's a time saver and an ammo saver, especially handy when .22 rounds aren't always easy to come by.
Why the Brass Casing Matters on This .22 Bore Sight
Because this is a caliber-specific unit rather than a universal arbor system, there's no adapter to fuss with and no slop in the fit. The brass body is factory aligned and sits snug in the chamber, which keeps the laser pointing true. Brass also holds up well to repeated loading and unloading, and it won't ding up your chamber. It works across .22 LR rifles and pistols alike, from a bolt gun or semi-auto plinker to a rimfire handgun.
One thing worth knowing: this is a chamber cartridge laser, so the internal wiring is fine, and it pays to be gentle when seating and removing it. Treat it with a little care and pull the batteries when you store it, and it'll keep getting your optics close for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SME Sight-Rite .22 LR boresighter work?
It's a brass casing machined to the size of a .22 LR cartridge with a laser built into the tip. You load it into the chamber like a round, project the laser onto a target downrange, then adjust your scope or red dot until the reticle matches up with the dot. That gets your sights close before you move to live fire for the final zero.
Does this Sight-Rite work in both rifles and pistols?
Yes. Because it's a chamber-mounted cartridge unit chambered in .22 LR, it works in any firearm that takes a .22 LR round. Folks run it in everything from bolt-action and semi-auto rimfire rifles to .22 pistols.
How accurate is the SME Sight-Rite at getting my optic zeroed?
It's designed to get you on paper, typically out to around 25 yards, so you're not wasting rounds hunting for your first hits. Think of it as a starting point rather than a replacement for live fire. You'll still want to confirm and fine-tune your zero at the range with real ammo.
Are batteries included with the .22 LR Sight-Rite?
Yes, it ships with three alkaline button cell batteries so you can use it right out of the package. It's a good habit to pull the batteries when you store it for a while to keep them from draining or leaking.
