Vector Optics ViperRay .30-06 Cartridge Red Laser Bore Sight (SCBCR-07) — Fast, ammo-saving pre-zero for .30-06 Springfield hunting rifles

The Vector Optics ViperRay .30-06 Cartridge Red Laser Bore Sight is a caliber-specific, cartridge-shaped collimator that gets your riflescope or red dot on paper in minutes. Precision-machined from brass to mirror a real .30-06 Springfield case, it projects a bright 650 nm red Class IIIA (<5 mW) laser straight down the bore axis. Rough-in your optic at home or on the bench, then confirm and fine-tune at the range—saving premium hunting ammo and time while protecting your shoulder from unnecessary recoil.

Because the ViperRay seats in the chamber like a live round, alignment is concentric and repeatable. Each unit is factory pre-centered for quick setup, weighs a compact 32 g (1.1 oz), and measures 63 mm (2.5″) long—perfect for keeping in your range kit to verify zero after travel, scope swaps, or seasonal checks before opening day.

Real-World Use Cases

New optics, bases, or ring installs

After mounting a fresh scope or changing bases, use the bore-axis laser to bring your reticle close to true on a fixed indoor reference. You’ll arrive at the range already on paper and need only a few shots to finalize a precise zero.

Pre-season confidence checks

Before your hunt, chamber the ViperRay to verify that travel and temperature swings didn’t nudge your setup. A quick check can save a range trip—or a missed opportunity in the field.

Multi-rifle workflows

If you share optics between .30-06 rifles, the cartridge-accurate insert lets you re-index optics consistently, speeding up transitions between platforms while conserving ammunition.

Mechanical & Build Highlights

• Cartridge-accurate geometry: Brass body mirrors .30-06 case dimensions for concentric seating on the bore axis and repeatable alignment.
• Clean, visible reference point: 650 nm dot is easy to see on typical indoor targets for fast coarse alignment.
• Compact & durable: Pocket-size tool stands up to frequent chambering cycles; ideal for range bags and gunsmith benches.
• Simple operation: Insert into a cleared chamber, align your reticle to the laser at a chosen distance, then remove before any live-fire.

What’s in the Box

• ViperRay .30-06 cartridge red laser bore sight (SCBCR-07)
• User instructions
• Batteries not included (requires 3 × AG3 / LR41 button cells)

Compatibility & Setup Notes

• Chambering: For .30-06 Springfield chambers only. Do not use in .308 Win, .270 Win, .25-06 Rem, .35 Whelen, .300 Win Mag, .300 PRC, or other .30-caliber variants.
• Safety: Verify the rifle is unloaded, magazine removed, and chamber clear. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction; never look into the laser beam.
• Initial alignment: Choose a small reference mark at an indoor distance (e.g., 10–15 m). Adjust your optic until the reticle overlays the laser dot.
• Finalize at the range: The laser travels in a straight line; bullets follow a ballistic arc. Always confirm and refine zero with live ammunition at your chosen distance (e.g., 100 m), considering load and environmental factors.
• Battery care: Observe correct polarity when installing AG3/LR41 cells and remove batteries between uses to prevent drain.

Technical Specifications

Summary

The ViperRay .30-06 bore-sighter is a simple, durable way to pre-align optics and cut down on sight-in time. Its cartridge-accurate brass body and pre-centered 650 nm laser put you close fast—so you can validate with a handful of rounds and head into the season confident in your zero.
