Question

Can I use a bore sight on a .177 gun?

Answer 1

I guess technically you could but with .177 cal pellets as cheap as they are why would u? Just take the extra pellets to sight in correctly and have fun!

Answer 2

Absolutely..



A BSA bore sighter kit includes an arbor that will work with .177 caliber airguns. Keep in mind that a bore sighter is for getting you "on the paper" you still have to sight-in.

If you're sighting-in a springer, I use a tightly rolled up towel for a rest, rather than a solid rest.

I find the OPBZ calculator especially useful. This gives you the optimum sight-in range for your rifle/pellet combination....

Answer 3

Yes you can, assuming it's the kind you stick in the end of the muzzle.



But pellets drop faster than bullets, so some additional sighting in will be in order.

Answer 4

As long as its for a .17 caliber.

Answer 5

Yes.
