Doesn't cover all the calibers advertised
In general, I like this boresighter. I have a lasergrip on my .38 snub nose and used the bushnell to help me tune the lasergrip. Bottom line: A hole now appears where the red light was just shining seconds ago. So that is good. But the sight has had 2 drawbacks for me: (1) If you want to do accurate sighting in a pistol, the barrel may not be long enough for the conical portion of the boresight to center in the barrel. But I took a concical centering device from my cleaning kit (which prevents you from scratching the mouth of the barrel during rod insertion) and put that on the boresight. Then I was able to use this rather long boresigher in a snub nose revolver just fine. (2) The big drawback is that while the .38 fitting was snug, they evidently don't consider a .45 caliber a common caliber between .22 and .50. So I can't use this to tune the sights on my .45. Looking now for another boresighter that does that. But this boresighter will see more use on my rifles and other firearms.

Has some issues, but easy to correct
I gave this 5 stars because I figured out how to resolve the problems associated with it. First, the on/off switch is horrible. The sight uses small batteries that fit into a tube and are held in place by a pointed contact and a spring. When you turn the knob to off it pulls the batteries away from the contact (feels firm). When the unit is on the knob allows the contact to connect and the knob feels loose.

The whole unit easily pries out with a small screwdriver and one can clean the contacts and lengthen the spring a bit. This will take the vagueness out of the switch and stop the laser from being intermittent.

Also, don't use an adaptor that fits exactly. Use a size smaller and adjust it until it fits the bore properly. That means tight enough to center but not so tight it gets stuck in there. If you find the exact size without having to adjust it and you force it in the barrel it may get stuck. It also takes a bit of effort to put the adjusting screws in the adaptors (one screw for each adaptor). Once in they will stay put with the adaptor.

Finally, while this is a red laser you do not have to bore sight your gun or rifle indoors or at night. It will reflect back in broad daylight against anything that's reflective, like a traffic sign. The neighbors may think you're nuts but it works great.

Once you overcome the funky switch, it works great. Just remember you will have to go out to the range to do your final adjustments. No boresight is perfect. They just get you close.

Bushnell Laser Boresighter works well
The Bushnell Laser Boresighter seems to work well. I have not been the range since purchase to check actual gun acuracy. The laser is not exactly centered in the housing, but does not seem to affect the acuracy much. I am going to call Bushnell and ask them about this.

The off/on switch is sort of strange and is hard to grip with big fingers. It feels vague when you turn to the on or off position
A slider switch would have been much better.
Overall, for the money, the boresighter seem to do what it is intended.
