Real Avid Viz-Max Green Laser Bore Sighter – Precision Alignment Tool for Firearms
- Battery Size:
- AAA
- Material:
- Aluminum
- Mount:
- Magnet
The Real Avid Viz-Max Green Laser Bore Sighter is a precision bore alignment tool designed to speed up scope zeroing and save ammunition during initial firearm setup. Unlike older red-laser sighters that struggle in daylight, this bore sighter uses a Class IIIa green laser operating at 515nm—the wavelength the human eye perceives as brightest—to cut through sun glare and deliver a crisp, visible reference dot at 25 yards under standard conditions. Whether you're mounting a new optic, verifying your zero after a long season, or helping a fellow shooter get on target, the Viz-Max eliminates the guesswork and lets you dial in faster with less ammo burned.
Setup is straightforward: the precision-machined aluminum housing mounts magnetically to any steel barrel with a flat muzzle face—no adapters, no fiddling. A powerful neodymium magnet holds the sighter secure without scratching or damaging the finish, and factory-calibrated centering rings ensure accurate bore alignment. The green laser projects a powerful, consistent dot; the peak output stays under 5mW and the temperature-stable module holds zero across changing conditions. Two AAA batteries power the unit and trigger an automatic 30-minute shutoff so you won't drain cells if you forget to turn it off on the range.
This is a tool built for durability. The protective exoskeleton absorbs impacts, shock-resistant internal mounting keeps components stable, and water-resistant sealed construction means it'll handle real-world hunting and range use. The high-density foam case keeps everything organized in your range bag, and a chamber safety flag with dual-purpose magnet doubles as a quick reminder to stay safe. Battery replacement is tool-free, and the tactile power switch gives you confident control. If the laser module ever dims, a battery-level indicator lets you know when it's time to swap fresh cells.
The Viz-Max works across rifle and pistol platforms with steel barrels, making it a versatile addition to any gunsmith's kit or serious shooter's arsenal. It's the smart alternative to old-school laser bore sighters or hours of ammunition-wasting paper-punching when you just need to get a new scope roughly on zero before heading to the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the green laser compare to older red laser bore sighters?
Green lasers operate at 515nm, a wavelength the human eye perceives as significantly brighter than red. This makes the green dot far more visible in daylight without needing higher power output. The Viz-Max's green laser cuts through sun glare on the range or in the field, giving you a crisp reference point for bore alignment that red-laser sighters struggle to match.
What firearms is the Viz-Max compatible with?
The Viz-Max works with any rifle or pistol that has a steel barrel with a flat muzzle face. The powerful neodymium magnet attaches magnetically—no adapters or modifications needed. Just mount it on the barrel and you're ready to sight in.
What's included in the box?
Each Viz-Max comes with a high-density foam storage case to keep it protected in your range bag or toolbox, and a chamber safety flag with a dual-purpose magnet. You'll need to provide two AAA batteries to power the unit.
How long do the batteries last?
Two AAA batteries power the laser. The unit includes a battery-level indicator so you'll know when cells are running low, and features a 30-minute auto-shutdown to prevent draining batteries if you forget to turn it off. Battery replacement is tool-free, so swapping fresh cells takes seconds.
Will the magnet scratch my barrel?
No. The neodymium magnet features a non-marring contact surface designed to grip securely without damaging your firearm's finish. The precision engineering and protective design make it safe for all quality steel barrels.
How accurate is the Viz-Max for setting zero?
The Viz-Max uses factory-calibrated centering rings and a temperature-stable laser module to ensure precise bore alignment. It's effective at 25 yards under standard conditions and serves as a reliable starting point for scope zeroing, eliminating the need to waste ammunition on early zero attempts. Always verify your final zero at the distance you'll be shooting.
