What he said. The caliber specific that look like a brass cartridge that go in the chamber get you way closer.
I also have one of these (not laser) with an arbor for damn near every caliber out there. If you are really careful with it you will probably be on paper but that's about it.

I use one from walmart with PLASTIC inserts that goes into the end of the barrel, works great.
I emphasize plastic inserts, because I tried the one with the rubber inserts and it did not effectively center the laser in the barrel making it useless.
When you get the bore sight in the barrel and tightened up, turn it on, point it at a wall and rotate it to make sure it's centered, if the laser makes a circle while you're turning it, it's not going to be accurate.

That's the one I got at walmart, although the one they have now is called a sightmark and worthless.

That little trick makes all the difference in the world.
Yep. I like the cartridge laser but I only have one for .223. I never drag that Bushnell optical device out and wish I had never bought it. Just take the bolt out and sight through the barrel like a peep sight and align your sights/scope to the same point.

Thanks for all of the info. I going to get the cartridge type with diff. adaptors, it would be great for my 700 30-06 and my M1A, but I also have a 336 35 Rem and do not see an adaptor for this round I might just buy both types.
