The best bore sighter I ever used is my own eyes.
Get the rifle solid in a rest, and remove the bolt, look down the barrel from the breach of course at a target from 25-50-100 yds with a center dot or diamond and center it in the bore, then adjust the optics windage and elevation to it.
This goes for any rifle with a removeable bolt where you can look directly through the barrel from the breach. AR's/ Bolt guns ect:
Of coarse if you have something like an M14 then this not an option as far as I know.
May take a couple of tries, especially if your OCD. It worked like a charm every time for me.
I mostly do it at 50 or 100 yds.
