Can you use a 7.62 x 39 bore sighter to sight in a 7.62x 51 (.308)?

No it isnt compatible Furthermore there are great laser bore sights at Walmart that are multiple caliber this model in question isnt good at all.

It would depend on the type of bore sight you are using. 7.62 and 308 are both considered to be a 30 caliber in diameter. If you use the shell casing type of laser bore sight it probably will take some engineering to make it work as intended due to the difference in the length of the shell casing. If you use the end of barrel bore sight, it should work fine. I have found the shell casing bore sights are a hassle with the batteries. I have four of laser bore sights and only two use the same battery.

My scope is mounted to an FN FAL C1A1 in 7.62x51/.308. The BDC for this scope is for 5.56/.223. The 7.62x51/.308 matches the trajectory of the 5.56/.223 fairly close out to about 500 yards. This scope would only BCD a 7.62x39 at best for 1-2 hundred yards. On my AKS Polytech and my SKS-D i have a 4x32 scope. A scope on a SKS has to be short enough so the cartridges can expel without hitting the bottom of the scope or objective lens of the scope. If the scope is over/above the breach the spent cartridges will hit it on ejection damaging the scope.

Should work just fine. Same gun just different caliber. Will nhold a few less rounds due to the fact 308 is a larger round.

Yes. You should have 3 or 4 little rubber plugs. Depending on what guage barrel you have, you would screw one onto the end of the sighter...tighten until you see the plug almost flatten out. This keeps the sighter secure when you insert the plug into the barrel. You will then get a more accurate bore sight....no jiggle.

The shaft of the bore sighter would be to long to fit such short barrels. I use SightMark laser cartridges for my hand guns with less than a 5 inch barrel. They're sold on Amazon.

There are 3 arbors that come in this set and they expand when you tighten them in the barrel. So it will fit both the .308 and the 30.06

Yes you can, a 300 black out is still a 30 cal projectile, it will fit no problem.

Doug, all you have to do is either purchase the right Dies for 7.62 x 39 and your on your way to re-loading. Lee sells Loaders with a certain caliber Die set with their intended loader. You can change the Dies with different Die packs and load what ever caliber you want, Rifle or Pistol caliber. But if this is your first time, maybe a SINGLE stag loader is best for you to start with, then you can move up to this multi-stage loader. Good luck.

Sure but, I personally wouldn't put it on anything much larger than a .223 because it is an expensive scope. I have mine mounted on an AR15 and it works well but I wouldn't trust it on anything over .308 because of the recoil. I mainly shoot open sights but I wanted to check out the benefits of magnification without lightening my wallet too much. Eventually, I plan to buy a high quality scope and move this one to my Ruger 1022 for plinking.

i put this on my rifle and the size doesn't bother me... but have not shot a rifle using this sight yet. sorry.

It should work...I'm using one with a fixed front sight on a .556, and I've never seen any other height option mentioned for use with the .308 versions.

I think you could probably use one of the laser bore if the item you use is very close to your weapon's caliber. Of course a 5.56 couldn't be used but perhaps one of the larger calibre lasers could be functional. It's a hit or miss idea. Generall speaking I would say no, but I figure you could find a close compatible with your weapon calibre.

With the 308. being a shorter casing I have no idea you might wanna look either into a laser for 308 or do a little research

I mounted it on both a DPMS LR308 and an AR15 I built, both flat tops. The 308 has an A2 front sight, it does not interfere, the red dot sits right on top of the front sight (if your eye is where the rear peep would be, if folded up). I have fold down sights on the 223, but the red dot aligns absolute. I like it better than the lower 1/3 view with the straight mounts..

It should fit the. 308. Attaches to the rear sight and butt stock. I don't think there is any difference between a 7.62 and 308 in that regard. Not a bad rail, but the sight is absolute garbage. I'm thinking of putting a TWS peep sight on it as a back up to my red dot.

I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW. Respectfully speaking I just use mine for .223 and .243. It will handle 30.06 and .308s but you might want to check with RCBS on that one.

I used one on a Spanish Mauser 7x57 and a 8mm Mauser. If the Spanish Mauser has been re-barreled to .308 you might not be able to use the fitting that clamps onto the barrel ring. I have used one without it and haven't had any problems yet.
