Lot 230:
Description
This professional-grade optical alignment tool, manufactured by Bushnell, is a Professional Bore Sighter Model 743333 kit designed to quickly align rifle or handgun scopes and iron sights with the barrel bore. The kit is comprised of seven individual pieces, including the main optical bore sighter unit, four chrome-plated expandable metal spuds or arbors for various barrel diameters, a printed instruction manual, and a black textured vinyl carrying case. The main optical unit features a matte black finish, a clear objective lens with an internal grid reticle, and a knurled attachment tension screw. A prominent white adhesive label on the lower mounting block is marked verbatim with Bushnell BORE SIGHTER TAIWAN. The matching textured vinyl carrying case features dual snap-button closures and is printed with the silver-toned Bushnell registered trademark logo on the front flap. The original printed instruction manual clearly designates the item as the Bushnell Professional BORE SIGHTER Model # 743333. This essential optical collimator setup, sometimes colloquially referred to by users as a Bushell Bare Sighter, allows shooters to easily get shots on target prior to live-fire zeroing.
Condition report:
The bore sighter kit is in excellent, lightly used condition. The matte black finish on the main optical housing remains largely intact with only minor signs of handling and faint surface scuffs. The internal graduated grid reticle is sharp and clear, and the lenses are free of significant scratches or cloudiness. The four chrome-plated metal arbors show bright surfaces with minimal wear to the expanding segments and threads, and all knurled adjustment knobs rotate smoothly. The black vinyl case is robust, with secure snap closures, showing only very light exterior scuffs and minor silver logo wear. The instruction manual shows light creasing but remains fully legible and intact. The system appears to be fully functional for optic and barrel alignment.
