A boresighting system may include a laser boresight device and a parallax mitigation device. The laser boresight device may include a casing for loading into a chamber of a firearm in place of a bolt carrier group, where the casing accepts a laser device for generating a laser beam within an interior cavity of the casing. The parallax mitigation device may include a housing for securing to an optical sight and a central position indicator providing a visual indication of a central position of the optical sight. Boresighting may be provided by adjusting an eye position to view a laser spot on a target associated with the laser beam at the central position of the optical sight based on the central position indicator and adjusting the optical sight to overlap an alignment reference provided by the optical sight with the laser spot at the central position of the optical sight.

Disclosed is an extended range multi-caliber in-bore laser boresight system for sighting in a firearm. The device includes one or more hollow cartridge cases that resemble a standard firearm case lacking a bullet, a laser module, and an external electronic package. The laser module fits within the hollow cartridge case and is positioned within a firearm chamber. The laser exits the hollow cartridge through the firearm barrel to aid with zeroing a firearm sighting system. The laser diode is powerful enough to be visible at extended ranges in bright sunlight. The inventive boresight system can be used for zeroing any desired caliber, such as from 5.56 NATO to .50 BMG at extended range.

The disclosure relates to viewing optics, and more particularly to a protective cover for a viewing optic. The disclosure relates to a zero cap a base; an aperture cap configured to hingedly connect to the base; and a cap plug configured to rotate on the aperture cap.

A firearm system includes a firearm and a computer. Electronics in the firearm determine data that includes a pathway between different points of aim of the firearm as the firearm moves. The computer receives this data and builds an image of the pathway between the different points of aim of the firearm.

A firearm sighting optic that can have the lenses easily and quickly replaced by the user is disclosed. This sighting optics allows the lens to be inserted from the bottom of a red dot sighting unit and then be secured by set screws. The firearm sighting optic includes a base and a hood. The lens is removably retained with the firearm sighting optic by user removable fasteners securing the hood to the base. The lens is housed in a hood that makes sliding the replacement lens into the unit much easier. The hood and base include an interconnecting protrusion and recess for reliable alignment of the lens within the hood and the base.

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.

An image offsetting apparatus for producing an offset image pathway and presenting the offset image pathway to a user or an optic, including at least some of a prism element comprising a first reflective surface/refracting face and a second reflective surface/refracting face, wherein the prism element is attached or coupled so as to provide the offset image pathway offset from a direct image pathway between a target object and the user or the optic.

User-zeroable adjustment knobs for an aiming device include a rotating member that is rotated to change a setting of the aiming device, a dial selectively couplable to the rotating member via a clutch for co-rotation therewith, and a locking mechanism that prevents the dial and rotating member from rotating relative to the aiming device when the locking mechanism is locked. The clutch is disengagable without the use of tools to allow the dial to rotate relative to the rotating member for zeroing the aiming device. The locking mechanism may include a lock release that is accessible from outside of the dial and movable relative to the dial and the rotating member to release the locking mechanism. Methods of zeroing locking adjustment knobs are also disclosed.
