Yes, it is true. There is no limit to the creativity that we of crimson nape possess. A few days ago (I think) someone asked if there was a boresighting tool for a .22 rifle. I thought, there's gotta be a cheapo way to make one...
I wondered if this would work and, "Lo!" and "Behold!" it does! YMMV on anything other than a bolt gun, but why not try and improve on my design? I'm not planning on a patent, nor am I claiming any IP rights.
This is your standard green 532 nm laser pointer slipped into the space usually occupied by the bolt. I had to add a piece of cardboard to cover the trigger and to use as a lever to press the laser's activation button. Then, point it at the wall (I shot a 15 yard distance with my rangefinder) and adjust the crosshairs as needed. It can't be off any further than if it were boresighted by a gun shop, right?
Once the rain stops, I'll give it a go and see how close I was.
