Vector Optics ViperRay 9 mm Cartridge Red Laser Bore Sight (SCBCR-11) — Fast, precise pre-zero for 9 mm pistols and PCCs

The Vector Optics ViperRay 9 mm Cartridge Red Laser Bore Sight is a compact, caliber-specific collimator that helps you align pistol sights or optics quickly and economically. Machined from brass to mimic a 9 mm cartridge, it projects a 650 nm red Class IIIA (<5 mW) laser directly along the bore axis. Set your iron sights, micro red dot, or carbine optic close to true in minutes at home or on the bench, then finish with a live-fire zero at your preferred distance.

Because the body mirrors a real cartridge, chambering is straightforward and repeatable. The unit is factory set for center alignment, weighs only 30 g (1.0 oz), and measures 30 mm (1.2″) in length—small enough to live in your range kit so it is always ready when you swap optics, install new mounts, or verify zero after transport.

Real-World Use Cases

Mounting or replacing pistol optics

After installing a pistol MRDS or switching plates, use the laser point to coarsely align the reticle to your irons or a fixed reference. You’ll arrive at the range already close to zero, saving time and ammunition.

Pistol-caliber carbines (PCC)

Confirm that your red dot or low-power optic is “on paper” before a match or training day. Chamber the ViperRay, align at an indoor distance, then refine at your match zero—no need to waste precious range time.

Post-transport confidence checks

Rough travel and temperature swings can nudge mounts. A quick chambered check verifies your sights or optic still reference the same point before you confirm at live fire.

Mechanical Properties & Build Highlights

• Cartridge-accurate geometry: Brass body mirrors 9 mm case dimensions for concentric seating on the bore axis.
• Factory centered: Pre-set laser alignment ensures a consistent, repeatable reference point out of the box.
• Clean, visible dot: 650 nm beam is easy to see on typical indoor targets for rapid coarse alignment.
• Compact & durable: Pocket-size unit stands up to range-bag carry and frequent calibration sessions.

What’s in the Box

• ViperRay 9 mm cartridge red laser bore sight (SCBCR-11)
• User instructions
• Batteries not included (3 × LR41/AG3 required)

Compatibility & Setup Notes

• Chambering: For 9 mm chambers (e.g., common 9×19 pistols and PCCs). Do not use in non-matching 9 mm variants (e.g., 9×18 Makarov, 9×21 IMI).
• Safety first: Verify the firearm is unloaded, magazine removed, and chamber clear before inserting the bore sight. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
• Initial alignment: Aim the laser at a small mark at an indoor distance (5–10 m works well). Adjust your sights/optic until the reticle or sight picture overlays the laser.
• Final zero at the range: The laser travels in a straight line, while bullets follow a curved trajectory. Always confirm and refine zero with live ammunition at your chosen distance.
• Battery care: Install three LR41/AG3 cells with correct polarity; remove batteries between uses to prevent drain.

Summary

The ViperRay 9 mm Cartridge Red Laser Bore Sight delivers a fast, reliable pre-zero for pistols and PCCs. Its brass, cartridge-accurate body and factory-centered 650 nm laser put your sights or red dot close to true in minutes—so you can save ammunition and time, then finalize with a precise live-fire zero.
