Sightmark Accudot Red Laser Boresight (Photo courtesy of Sightmark) Sightmark’s Accudot Red Laser Boresight will save on ammo costs, but it very well may save more than that—avoiding the disaster that can come when muzzle-mounted bore sighters aren’t removed before a shot is fired. The Sightmark prevents all that fuss because it loads into the chamber, preventing the need to hang anything from the muzzle. A red dot is projected from the muzzle that you can align with the crosshairs on your scope, and while it may not have the rifle perfectly zeroed on the first shot you won’t waste an hour chasing paper. $50 | sightmark.com
