Laser bore sighter

Can anyone recommend a good laser bore sighter (for .177)? Seems like there is A LOT of cheap Chinese kits on Amazon of bad quality, and the only one listed on PA (a CenterPoint kit) says it won't work on shrouded barrels (I have a Hatsan 95 QE).
Thanks!

The best way to sight your gun in is bring your target to 5 or 10 yards and sight it in until you have a zero then move out to 20 or 30yds and so on. With the target being close you will see were it is hitting and make the adjustments needed. I use the shoot N C targets so I don't have to get up and look where I hit the target. The bore sighters are not long enough to use in air guns with shrouds, also the trajectory is totally different from a PB gun. Plus you run the risk of damaging the bore and crown using them. There is an app called Chairgun Pro that can help with the trajectory as well. Good luck and welcome to the GTA.

Bore sighters are over rated, I'd do as Kris suggested. Zero your scope to a 10 yard target, you don't even have to be looking through the scope the whole time. Line up the crosshairs on target, then look downrange from above the scope & see where the poi is & adjust accordingly. Ideally, once done with the near zero I like it to be hitting on the vertical reticle at about 1"-1.5" low at 10 yards, that way when you stretch the range out you should have a little less work to do to fine tune your zero to whatever your prefered distance might be.

Always bear in mind you are adjusting the crosshairs of the scope to track where the pellet is landing, not the other way around.
Due to the nature of a spring piston airgun it is crucial that it is held and fired precisely the same way every time.
All a bore sighter could do with the airgun is give you a very general idea. The barrel moves when the gun is fired and where it is aimed when the pellet takes flight is not the same point where it was aimed when you pulled the trigger.
