How Does the Firefield Red Laser Universal Boresight Work? A Symphony of Simplicity and Precision

The ingenuity of the Firefield Red Laser Universal Boresight lies in its elegant design and straightforward operation. At its core, it leverages a high-intensity red laser combined with a robust magnetic base.

1. Magnetic Attachment: The device features a strong magnetic base that effortlessly affixes to the muzzle of virtually any firearm barrel. This universal magnetic attachment eliminates the need for multiple arbors or adapters, making it incredibly versatile for a wide array of calibers and barrel types—from rifles and shotguns to handguns.
2. Laser Activation: Once magnetically secured to the barrel, the internal mechanism activates the potent red laser. This laser projects a precise, highly visible red dot down the center line of your bore.
3. Sight Alignment: With the laser projected onto a target at a known distance (e.g., 25 yards), you simply adjust your scope's windage and elevation turrets, or your iron sights, until their reticle or aiming point perfectly aligns with the projected laser dot. This establishes a preliminary zero, often referred to as "getting on paper," with remarkable speed and accuracy.

The red laser, operating at a wavelength between 632 and 650 nanometers (nM), is specifically chosen for its optimal visibility in most lighting conditions, providing a clear and crisp point of aim that significantly simplifies the alignment process.
