An optical device includes a toolless rezero system and/or a zero locking system. The rezero system can operate in a first mode in which a scale ring is non-rotatable relative to an axis. The ring can be manually moved to a second mode, where the ring is rotatable relative to the axis, so alphanumeric characters and bars can be moved about the axis to align a preselected zero element with a reference element and rezero the device. The zero locking system can include a locking cover button that is manually movable to automatically operate a locking ring in a first mode in which it rotatably couples the dial with an adjusting pin to move a reticle, and in a second mode in which it couples the adjustment dial to an immovable wheelbase so the dial is non-rotatable, and the reticle is locked in position. Related methods are provided.

An improved clarity sighting system; the improved clarity sighting system includes a collection of front and rear firearm sights, and a gauge tool having mock front and rear sights representing each of the genuine front and rear sights. The gauge tool simulates sight pictures formed by the alignment of the mock front and rear sights. Each of the mock-front-sights corresponds to and replicates the size and shape one of the genuine front-sights, and each of the mock-rear-sights corresponds to and replicates the size and shape of one of the genuine rear-sights. In this way, a user may visually determine which combination of each of the plurality of front-sights and each of plurality of rear-sights matches the user's vision. Each of the genuine front and rear sights are enlarged and are tapered on each face towards the muzzle of then firearm in order to enhance clarity.

Systems for leveling a firearm receiver and aligning a scope to the receiver are precisely fabricated and assembled to maximize accuracy, including high sensitivity spirit levels. A bar assembly with a high sensitivity spirit level is received in the receiver with the bar in direct contact with the receiver rails. The bar may directly contact the full length of the receiver rails. A plate assembly includes a lower plate for connection to a bench rest, an upper plate for connection to the receiver, and a mechanism to pivot the upper plate relative to the lower plate about a pivot axis for windage adjustment. Methods of use are disclosed.

A L-shaped reticle alignment tool includes a vertical adjustment leg; a horizontal adjustment leg; and a sliding hammer. The L-shaped reticle alignment tool includes a vertical adjustment recess located on the vertical adjustment leg. The L-shaped reticle alignment tool includes a horizontal adjustment recess located on the horizontal adjustment leg. The sliding hammer moves in a direction parallel to the horizontal adjustment leg.

An aiming device is provided including an illumination device and an optical element wherein the illumination device projects a primary dot and at least one secondary alignment dot distal from the primary dot to aid a user in obtaining a view of the primary dot when the aiming device is in an aligned mode, the primary dot is visible within a field of view of the user, but the secondary alignment dot is not visible. When the aiming device is in a misaligned mode, the secondary alignment dot is visible to the user, but the primary dot is not. The secondary alignment dot provides instruction to the user to realign the aiming device relative to the field of view of the user so that the aiming device transitions to the aligned mode. A related method of operation is provided.

Disclosed herein is a kit for facilitating aligning of twist-in scope rings of firearms. Accordingly, the kit may include a centering component, and a laser pointer. Further, the centering component may be for providing a reference for aligning a twist-in scope ring with a bore of a firearm. Further, the twist-in scope ring may be coupled to a barrel of the firearm. Further, the twist-in scope ring may be rotatable around a scope axis. Further, the centering component may include a primary elongated member and a secondary elongated member attached to the primary elongated member. Further, the laser pointer may be detachably couplable with the twist-in scope ring. Further, the laser pointer may include a laser pointer body configured to be inserted in the twist-in scope ring. Further, the laser pointer may be configured for emitting a laser beam.

A handguard assembly for attaching to a firearm is disclosed. The handguard assembly comprises an upper component, a lower component, a front cap, and a rear cap. The front cap and rear cap are secured within the lower component. The front cap and rear cap have curved top sides for supporting the barrel of the firearm. The lower component has slots in the sides to receive tabs from the sides of the upper component. When the upper component and lower component are attached to the firearm, the components work together to position the barrel in the preferred position so that the sights of the firearm are zeroed when the handguard assembly is attached to the firearm.
