In my experience, the old fashioned bore-sighting method is more reliable than the laser gimmicks.
To conserve ammunition once you have bore sighted your rifle and gotten the first shot on paper, firmly immobilize your rifle on sandbags, so that the scope is centered on your aiming point, THEN, without moving the rifle, carefully adjust the crosshairs so that they move from your aiming point to your bullet hole!
Fire one shot to confirm sight setting. You can then make a fine adjustment, if necessary from there, but you should have a useable zero in firing only two shots. This is most useful in places where ammunition is scarce, expensive or highly regulated.
