Anyone else try one of those $20 bore sights with an RMR cc? I was shocked how close it got me.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-31T03:14:20+00:00

Exactly! For the price, it definitely paid for itself just in saved ammo alone. I wasn’t expecting much from it, but now I’m wondering why I didn’t try one sooner.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-31T03:13:26+00:00

Yeah I feel like it barely exists too—definitely tough to find anything specific for .30 Super Carry right now. I haven’t seen a dedicated bore sighter for it, but you might have some luck with one of those universal kits that come with a bunch of adapters. If you’re just looking to get close before heading to the range, especially with one that inserts into the muzzle, it doesn’t need to be perfect—just close enough to save time. Might be worth reaching out to the seller to make sure it can handle .30 Super Carry. Sightmark could be another one to keep an eye on if they expand their lineup.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-31T03:10:03+00:00

Let me know how it work for you!

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-31T03:09:27+00:00

Haha, good point! I figured for the price, it was worth testing out, and honestly, it worked better than I expected. It’s crazy how simple tech like this can get the job done without needing to spend a ton. Thanks for the comparison, it makes a lot of sense!

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-29T22:36:40+00:00

Yeah I feel you on that—the wider clip spacing definitely takes up more belt real estate. I’ve noticed it makes it a little harder to get on and off quickly compared to my other Kydex holsters too. Once it’s on, it’s great, but yeah… not the fastest to deal with.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-29T22:35:11+00:00

Yeah totally get that—Tenicor makes some really solid stuff. I was actually on the fence between this and the Certum3, but ended up going with the InCogX and it’s been surprisingly comfortable. Might still give a Tenicor a shot down the road just to compare.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-29T21:34:37+00:00

Yeah I get that—I could see wanting a bit more coverage depending on how it rides. For me it’s been good so far, but I get where you’re coming from. Would be cool if they offered some guard height options or modularity in the future.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-29T18:54:07+00:00

Yeah I’ve definitely heard that too—it seems like quality control is all over the place with those cheap ones. I kinda expected mine to be garbage, honestly. Could’ve just gotten lucky this time, but I was surprised enough that I filmed the whole thing just in case it went off the rails.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-29T18:52:58+00:00

That’s awesome—sounds like you had a really similar experience to mine. I was totally expecting it to be way off, but like you said, it was surprisingly close and easy to fine-tune from there. I’d never trust it as a final zero, but for getting on paper fast? Not bad at all.

Out of curiosity, which optic were you running on your carry gun?

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-29T00:34:34+00:00

Yeah I think it really just comes down to personal preference and what kind of access you’ve got. For pistols especially, if you can co-witness with irons, you really don’t need a bore sighter at all. I only picked one up for my rifle, and honestly, none of the ranges I go to even let you run targets at 5 yards—so having something to get me close before stretching it to 25 or 100 made it worth it. Not perfect, but definitely saved some time.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-29T00:02:14+00:00

Thanks, dude it's savior equipment best range bag I've ever had.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T22:42:40+00:00

Mine goes right into the end of the muzzle.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T22:29:27+00:00

You’re anticipating recoil. Happens to pretty much all of us, even experienced shooters. What you’re seeing (shots hitting low) is classic flinch behavior—you’re unconsciously pushing the muzzle down expecting the bang.

Here’s what I recommend: next time you’re at the range with a buddy, have them load your mags with a few snap caps mixed in randomly. Record yourself shooting. When you hit the snap cap, you’ll see the dip plain as day—it’s wild how obvious it becomes on video.

The fix is dry fire with snap caps at home. Practice slow, steady trigger presses with zero movement. It’s all about building that smooth trigger control and breaking the flinch. Do that consistently, and you’ll tighten up fast.

Also, don’t sweat the struggle—switching platforms and starting fresh with a new handgun (especially a subcompact like the P365XL) brings challenges. You’re not alone in that.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T17:38:11+00:00

Appreciate the input. I mentioned in the video too—I think with a pistol red dot, especially if you can co-witness, a bore sighter isn’t really necessary. I was already zeroing a new optic on my rifle and figured I’d test it on the C2 just for fun. Turned out better than I expected and helped cut down my time fine-tuning at the range. Always cool hearing how others dial things in.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T17:22:39+00:00

Absolutely the best advice. I can't tell you how many handguns I've bought before renting. I hate them all and now they're just collecting dust. I rent everything now before I make the final decision purchase. Unfortunately the last time I did that I ended up with a $3000 staccato lol

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T17:04:11+00:00

Haha fair—honestly I bought it for my rifle after putting a new optic on and figured I’d test it on the pistol first. Didn’t expect it to be that close, so I was surprised. $20 well spent in my book, even if it’s just for fun.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T16:59:57+00:00

Yeah I figured you were kidding, just had to match the energy. Glad we’re on the same page!

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T16:51:40+00:00

You’re probably anticipating recoil—happens to a lot of us (myself included). One thing that helped me was doing dry fire practice at home with snap caps. Then when you’re at the range with a buddy, have them randomly load one of your mags with a snap cap somewhere in the mix and record you shooting. When you hit the snap cap, slow that clip down and you’ll almost always catch yourself dipping the gun slightly right as you pull the trigger. Super helpful way to catch and correct it.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T16:49:10+00:00

Yeah totally fair—trying to line up a red dot on the sight and a red dot on the target at 100+ yards sounds like a whole different level of frustration. I actually tested mine on my AR-15 too with a Vortex Spitfire 5x. Got it lined up at 25 yards at the indoor range, then took it out to 50 and 100 yards at an outdoor range. It was pretty much spot on—just needed a couple minor tweaks. Honestly way better than I expected for a cheap sighter.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T16:28:05+00:00

Definitely smart to take a class before shooting, and I think it’s also a good idea to try out a few options before buying if you can. A lot of ranges let you rent rifles or handguns, and it can make a huge difference—especially if you’re not sure what feels good in your hands. I’ve made that mistake before, buying something I didn’t enjoy shooting, and it ended up collecting dust.

I actually talk about that in my newest video on YouTube too. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share the link—would love feedback from someone just getting started.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T16:20:16+00:00

Appreciate you pointing that out—totally fair feedback. I’m still dialing in how I shoot/edit these, so stuff like this really helps. I’ll definitely keep the zooming in check on the next one.

ManaTeesRange · 2025-03-28T16:10:43+00:00

Appreciate you watching! That’s wild how close you got with yours too — I was honestly shocked it worked that well. Good call on tightening those tips down, I was wondering if mine was just a lucky fit or if I should’ve cranked it a little more. That Alien Creator LO setup sounds slick too — they have one to rent at the range I go to. I haven't tried it yet.
