Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the X03? Can it really get me on paper?
Yes. The X03 delivers sub-1 MOA precision at 25 yards, which is sufficient to get you on paper at 100 yards with most modern optics.
You'll still need to confirm your final zero with live fire, but expect to save 15-20 rounds compared to zeroing from scratch.
Should I get the Red or Green version?
Choose Green (X03) if:
✓ You zero outdoors or in bright daylight
✓ You shoot at 50+ yards
✓ Visibility is critical (e.g., aging eyes, bright sun)
Choose Red if:
✓ You mainly zero indoors or low-light
✓ You want longer battery life
Pro tip: 80% of our customers choose Green for the daylight visibility advantage. The pulsing beam also helps distinguish it from your reticle.
How is this different from a magnetic bore sight?
Magnetic bore sights mount on the muzzle externally, they're quick but less accurate due to slight tilt variations.
The X03 inserts directly into the bore, providing more precise alignment along the actual barrel axis. This is the same principle
used by professional gunsmiths.
Trade-off: Slightly slower setup (10 seconds vs 5), but significantly more accurate.
What calibers does this bore sight work with?
It works with most common and popular calibers from.22 to.50.
It is not recommended for subcompact or short-barrel handguns, or rifles with long muzzle devices.
Will the adapters damage my barrel?
No. The adapters are made of precision-machined brass and aluminum (softer than steel barrels) — they cannot scratch or damage rifling.
The fit is snug but designed for easy insertion and removal without force. Always ensure the barrel is clean before insertion.
Concerned about expensive firearms? We've tested with Cerakote, chrome-lined, and polygonal rifling — no issues reported.
Why does the green laser flash?
The flashing beam is intentional and serves three purposes:
1. Easier identification: Distinguishes the laser dot from your reticle, other lights, or reflections
2. Daylight visibility: The intermittent flash is easier to spot against bright backgrounds than a steady beam
3. Battery efficiency: Extends battery life by ~40%
This does not affect zeroing accuracy — the pulse is fast enough that the dot appears continuous to the human eye.
Is the laser eye-safe?
The X03 uses a Class 3R laser (5mW±0.2mW) — the same classification as most consumer laser pointers.
Safety guidelines:
⚠️ Always treat firearms as loaded — verify chamber is empty before installing the bore sight
⚠️ Never look directly into the laser beam
⚠️ Don't point at people, animals, or aircraft
⚠️ Class 3R is safe for momentary exposure but can cause eye damage with prolonged direct viewing
Will the laser dot wobble or make circles when rotated?
This is a high-precision bore sight. Under normal conditions, the laser will stay centered when rotated 360 degrees
