Bushnell Holosight Reticle

From a binocular to a riflescope, Bushnell has been in the optical instrument market and has been reigning it. Bushnell Holosight riflescope employs a Bushnell boresighter for forming the Bushnell Holosight reticle. Bushnell Holosight Reticle is unique in nature and is illuminated by a LASER instead of traditional LEDs. The Bushnell Holosight uses a illuminated holograph to display a virtual reticle pattern in the display window. This reticle pattern is projected onto the target and for the user, appears as a red image in the display. Although, the reticle is illuminated by a LASER, no laser light is projected on the aimed object. Before using the rifle, boresighting is mandatory. Bushnell Laser Boresighter gains a large advantage because of the usage of a LASER. Boresighting, basically is the process using which the target aiming is done accurately using adjustments and various fine tuning settings provided. Bushnell Holosight Reticles come in various crosshair and circle patterns. One can choose from any of the following reticle patterns - 10 degree ring, 1 MOA dot, standard, 3D tracer dot, dual rings, open crosshairs, 3D crosshairs, 20 degree diamond and 20 degree ring.

A Bushnell Laser Boresighter is an additional precision equipment used for boresighting. It is made of the finest materials and is assured to be maintenance free for life time. This precision instrument helps in setting up the aim quickly and saves time. One basic safety precaution to follow before using a Bushnell laser boresighter is that the firearm should be unloaded and the muzzle should be pointing towards a safe point where no sudden intrusion is possible. The boresighter contains a laser emitter along with some adapters. These adapters cover from 0.22 to 0.55 caliber diameters. However if the boresighter is wished to be used for a bigger gun like a 12 gauge shotgun or a 20 gauge, there are separate adapters available for them. In order to find the right adaptor, firstly the adaptor with the largest diameter which fits into the muzzle of the gun can be chosen. After that, the adaptor is screwed into the smaller end of the laser emitter with the help of a screw in the adaptor. Now we observe that with the tightening of the screw, the adaptor's diameter expands. Once this happens we wait till it matches the diameter of the gun and then move in the laser's smaller end and the adaptor into the rifle's muzzle. Once the laser emitter is securely placed in the required position, the laser is turned on.

From here it is familiar territory for everyone. One can see a familiar red dot emitted from the laser onto the target. Using the riflescope's windage and elevation adjustments the Bushnell Holosight reticle can be adjusted to point on a point on the target. Depending on the distance the mentioned adjustments are to be made. For example, if one is at a shorter distance from the target, the height of the scope can be compensated by adjusting the point of impact. This way the crosshairs point to a relatively lower point and hence let the holosight point at the target accurately. The Bushnell boresighter can be used to record the location of the zero reference w.r.t. the crosshairs.This helps in verifying the zero later as it serves as a reference.
