I have a air rifle laser mounted on my .22 rifle, and have a bore laser that mounts inside the rifle bore. now of course I have the gun unloaded and the safty is on, plus the shell area is open for safty. so, with both laser on, and at quite a distance, would it be best to have both lasers become 1 at a point to have a dead on shot. I expect the bore laser to be set at the factory to be straight and even. the air rifle laser, well, it can be adjusted. tested itin just room, and even though both are about maybe 2 inches apart, just shining on the wall, both dots were then about a foot part at just 10 feet. ths same laser was used to varmit shoot a groundhog at 25 feet, and each and every shot MISSED with it. now I do have a 9X rifle scope with the plus sign crosshairs. if I cannot get the 2 lasers to match up at a point within at most 4 inches, should the bore laser be pretty easy to set witht the scope crosshairs. ust wondering which setup would be best to set to make shots more accurate even just target partice shooting.

If your scope is 2" above the bore, adjust the scope so the bore laser is 1.1" below the scope's crosshair's at 10 yards - 30 feet. That should put you dead on centre at 50 yards.

ok, will try that in the morning, just have to aim it with bolt open for safty and make sure it is adjusted for both lasers then. also will put scope back on soon. (as I find it in my draw.)

Im trying to understand the situation...
You have a .22LR rifle that has an air rifle laser mounted on it? What sort of adjustment does it have for windage and elevation?
You also have placed in the bore a laser bore sighter?
If the bore sighter is accurate, then it should show you the line of sight through the bore. You might then adjust the air rifle laser to that point, do not adjust the bore laser. Do the two red dots meet?
From there, go to a safe shooting range and shoot at a small target like a 1 inch by 1 inch piece of tape on a paper target about 75 feet away. Don't even turn on the laser yet. Shoot 3-5 times while aiming at the exact same spot using a rock solid rest so that the rifle does not move. Leave it in the rest so it does not move.
Turn on the laser and compare where the holes in the paper are to where the laser points while making sure the rifle is aimed at the exact spot you were aiming at when you fired those shots. No shooting here. You may need to adjust the laser to meet where the bullets struck the target but to do this, you need to have held the rifle solidly still from the firing of that group of shots, to the tie you get the laser pointed to where the shots hit.
I hope this helps.

well, took the air rifle laser pointer off the holder, put my old 3X9 rifle scope on it. cleaned the glass a bit form storage. waited until last night to sight them up just right using barn at about 30 yards. the scope was really hard to adjust, was way out of area cross hairs. set now from laser pointer in gun bore. after setting laser from bore laser and scope, re-attached ar rifle laser to side of scope, yes, kinda weird to do. but it is setup as youe said to have the 2 match up on the barn. going to try the next warmer evening above 50 degrees to test shoot rifle wit scope and ar rifle laser then. hopefully at 30 yards, will be no more than an inch off. hoping to shoot squerrial sometime on farm in season. picked up the florecent targets for $4.99 for a 10 pack to use to do test shooting. making sure I also use binoculars to view when shots go in target correctly. safty first when checking and making sure I keep he rifle setup correctly to check how accurate the shots are with the hollow points. cheap ammo may be an issue, about 2 years old at that.
