Achieve Unmatched Precision: The Sightmark SM39022 17 HMR Laser Boresighter

Are you a dedicated marksman, a meticulous hunter preparing for the season, or a competitive shooter striving for peak performance? Do you find yourself frustrated by the time, effort, and considerable expense involved in traditional rifle zeroing methods? The Sightmark SM39022 17 HMR Laser Boresighter is the definitive solution designed to revolutionize how you sight in your firearms. This precision instrument empowers shooters of all skill levels – from beginners setting up their first rifle to seasoned professionals fine-tuning their setups – to achieve unparalleled accuracy with remarkable speed and efficiency.

Imagine being able to confidently align your scope or sights with your rifle's bore in mere minutes, without firing a single shot. This saves you valuable ammunition, range time, and eliminates the guesswork that often accompanies initial zeroing. The Sightmark SM39022 is specifically engineered for rifles chambered in the popular .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) caliber, providing an exact, chambered fit that ensures superior accuracy compared to muzzle-mounted or universal boresighters. This isn't just a tool; it's an investment in your shooting proficiency and your pocketbook.

Why Choose a Laser Boresighter for Your .17 HMR Rifle?

For anyone asking, "What's the best way to sight in my .17 HMR rifle quickly and efficiently?" or "How can I save money on ammo while zeroing my scope?", the answer often points directly to a high-quality laser boresighter. Traditional zeroing can consume dozens, if not hundreds, of rounds of ammunition just to get on paper. This not only adds significant cost but also causes wear and tear on your firearm and can be time-consuming, especially if you have limited range access or adverse weather conditions.

A laser boresighter like the Sightmark SM39022 offers a multitude of benefits:

• Ammunition Conservation: Drastically reduce the number of live rounds needed to zero your rifle. Most users find they can get "on paper" with the boresighter and then use only a handful of live rounds for fine-tuning, potentially saving hundreds of dollars over the lifetime of their shooting activities.
• Time Efficiency: Spend less time at the range struggling with initial adjustments. The SM39022 allows for rapid, preliminary alignment of your optics or iron sights, often in under five minutes.
• Convenience: Perform preliminary sighting indoors, in your backyard, or at any location where you can safely point your rifle at a target. This frees you from the immediate need for a shooting range.
• Precision Alignment: The laser provides a precise visual representation of your rifle's bore axis, allowing for highly accurate initial adjustments of your scope's windage and elevation turrets. This ensures you're starting from a much more accurate baseline.
• Troubleshooting Optics: Quickly diagnose if your scope or sights are mounted correctly or if there are any significant alignment issues before you even head to the range.
• Pre-Hunt Preparation: Hunters can quickly verify their zero before a big trip, even without firing, ensuring their rifle is still dialed in after travel or handling.
• Educational Tool: An excellent tool for new shooters to understand the relationship between their bore, optics, and point of impact, without the pressure of live fire.

Key Features and Engineering Excellence of the SM39022

The Sightmark SM39022 stands out in the market due to its robust design and intelligent engineering, specifically tailored for the .17 HMR caliber. This isn't a universal rod that approximates bore alignment; it's a cartridge-shaped device that chambers directly into your rifle's action, just like a live round. This 'chambered' design is critical for achieving superior accuracy.

Precise Brass Construction: Crafted from high-quality brass, the body of the SM39022 mimics the exact dimensions of a .17 HMR cartridge. This ensures a snug and precise fit within your rifle's chamber, preventing any wobbling or misalignment that could compromise accuracy. The durable brass also protects the internal laser components and withstands repeated use.

Powerful Class 3A Laser: At the heart of this boresighter is a vibrant red Class 3A laser. This laser projects a highly visible and precise dot onto your target, allowing for clear alignment even in varying light conditions. The consistent and stable laser beam is paramount for accurate zeroing.

Optimal Wavelength and Output: The laser operates at a wavelength of 632-650 nm, with an output of <5mW. These specifications ensure the laser is bright and easily visible for sighting purposes while remaining safe for general use when handled properly.

Long-Lasting Battery Life: Powered by two AG3 batteries, the SM39022 boasts an impressive battery life of approximately one hour of continuous use. This is more than sufficient for multiple sighting sessions, making it a reliable tool you can count on.

Compact and Portable Design: Weighing a mere 0.8 oz and measuring just 2 inches in length, this boresighter is incredibly lightweight and compact. It can easily be stored in your range bag, rifle case, or even a pocket, ensuring it's always available when you need it.

Recoil-Resistant: Unlike some less robust options, the SM39022 is designed to withstand the mild recoil inherent in chambering and unchambering, maintaining its integrity and accuracy over time.

How to Use Your Sightmark SM39022 17 HMR Laser Boresighter

Using the Sightmark SM39022 is a straightforward process, making precision zeroing accessible to everyone. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Safety First: Ensure your firearm is unloaded, pointed in a safe direction, and the action is open. Always double-check your chamber and magazine for any live ammunition.
2. Insert Batteries: Unscrew the back cap of the boresighter and insert the two AG3 batteries according to the polarity indicators. Replace the cap firmly. The laser should immediately activate.
3. Chamber the Boresighter: Carefully insert the Sightmark SM39022 into the chamber of your .17 HMR rifle, just as you would a live cartridge. Gently close the bolt, ensuring it seats fully.
4. Position Your Rifle: Secure your rifle in a stable rest (e.g., a gun vise, sandbags, or bipod) and aim it at a target approximately 15 to 25 yards away. A paper target with a grid or bullseye is ideal for this purpose.
5. Identify the Laser Dot: Observe where the laser dot appears on your target. This dot represents the current alignment of your rifle's bore.
6. Adjust Your Optics: Without moving the rifle, adjust the windage and elevation turrets on your scope or sights until your reticle (crosshairs) aligns precisely with the laser dot on the target.
7. Remove the Boresighter: Once your adjustments are complete, carefully open the bolt and remove the boresighter from the chamber.
8. Verify with Live Fire: Head to the shooting range and fire a few live rounds to confirm your zero. You'll likely find that you're already very close to the bullseye, requiring only minor final adjustments. This process significantly reduces the number of shots needed for a perfect zero.

This method is particularly useful for initial setup, remounting optics, or verifying zero after travel or a significant impact to your rifle. It's a foundational step that sets you up for success at the range.

The Value Proposition: Why the SM39022 is a Smart Investment

When considering tools for firearm maintenance and performance, the Sightmark SM39022 17 HMR Laser Boresighter offers unparalleled value. It addresses common pain points for shooters:

• Cost Savings: Imagine saving the cost of dozens, even hundreds, of .17 HMR rounds that would otherwise be spent just getting your scope aligned. These savings accumulate rapidly.
• Time Savings: Your range sessions become more productive. Instead of spending the first hour struggling to get on paper, you can immediately begin refining your groups or practicing specific drills.
• Increased Confidence: Knowing your rifle's optics are accurately aligned instills confidence, whether you're taking a shot at a distant target or preparing for a competitive event.
• Enhanced Skill Development: By making the initial zeroing process less frustrating, you can focus more on fundamental shooting skills, leading to quicker improvement.

This device is not just for sighting new scopes. It's an essential item for regular gun owners who want to:

• Check their zero between hunting seasons.
• Re-zero after cleaning or maintenance.
• Confirm their zero if they suspect it's been knocked off.
• Quickly set up multiple optics for the same rifle.
