Another Excellent Leupold Product, November 22, 2007
By PapaD from Bakersfield, CA

"There is not much I can add to lasc's well written review above so I will tell you why I think this is a great product to buy. The spud style collimater I used for several years worked well. But I always worried about damaging the barrel crown. The crown is critical to accuracy and steel spuds can damage that fine edge in short order if carelessly used. The magnetic attachment method totally eliminates any worry about crown damage and that is what appealed to me most about Leupold's new boresighter. But I wasn't totally convinced this type of boresighter would be effective until I borrowed one and tried it for myself. I can't tell you the science of why it works as well as it does, but it is simple to use and it gets the job done right."

Great and compact, June 27, 2007
By lasc

"The new Leupold “Zero Point” magnetic illuminated boresighter eliminates all of the problems associated with traditional devices. For one, instead of using spuds, it attaches to the muzzle with a powerful neodymium magnet. (Keep the Leupold bore sighter away from any data storage devices or media. It’s strong enough that it could zap your digital info out of existence.) This eliminates the need for carrying around that clunky boresighter kit with all those spuds and the big optic. The Zero Point is very compact and measures just 4” long and is a 1/2” by 3/4” around the middle. However, being four inches long means that it can reach way up to the center line of just about any scope. It even comes with a neat little ballistic nylon carrying pouch that gives it plenty of protection and can fit on a belt besides.

Using the Leupold is easy. If you’ve put a new scope on a gun, just turn on the Zero Point by pushing the large slide switch located on its side and stick the unit onto the muzzle. Now look through the scope and you’ll see an orange grid pattern with various reference numbers along the sides. Move the boresighter up or down to get the grid located in the center of your scope’s image. Next, turn the power ring of your scope back and forth (if it’s a variable) to get the best amount of magnification on the grid. We want a nice, clear, lens filling picture. Now orient the boresighter so its grid and your scope’s crosshairs are aligned both vertically and in parallel. In other words, we want everything to be squared up. Then by using the scope’s adjusting knobs, move the crosshairs so they’re perfectly aligned with the center of the boresighter grid.

Once we have everything lined up, take the boresighter off and fire a shot on a sighter target at 50 yards. Chances are the shot will be off dead center but still on the paper somewhere. Now put the boresighter back on, and square its grid to the scope’s crosshairs once more. Look through the scope and get the crosshairs on the center of the target. The Zero Point is kind of unique in that because it’s so small, you’ll be able to see it’s grid and the 50 yard target at the same time. Now use the adjusting knobs and move the scope’s crosshairs over the bullet hole. (It’s very important that the gun not move during this process.) The scope is now perfectly zeroed. I went through the Zero Point set up process recently and it got me to within a half inch of dead center at 50 yards on my second shot. That’s pretty darn good in my book. So if you want to save time, money, ammo, and most of all, aggravation, when sighting in a scope, get a Leupold Zero Point.
