Need a lazer to help with range finding . want to be able to range find out to around 50 yards , using the reticle . i see Uttings advertise one they say is good to 50 yards . £ 40 ish . cheaper ones on flea bay . but are they any good , with a small enough dot . HOLLY

Hi Holly,Originally Posted by scimitar
I have a green laser of the type on the bay (around £25)...it is ok/good fun for plinking, in fact a .22 pellet will shine out and act like a tracer for part of its trajectory if the laser is mounted above the barrel. The dot is clearly visible to the naked eye out a 50 yards but it it probably wouldn't be fine enough for what you want...also it may be a bit glary depending on the mag/scope your using.

I used to use one for this job you require but it did not hold zero well. And was a pain to zero using the adjuster screws.they were in the front of the laser. Not turrets. Not sure if one with turrets is better.
I basically got mine as close as I could to zero then revolved the laser in the mount to get it closeer still.

The lazer on my pulsar is about an inch across at 50 yards . easily seen . red by the way . i wondered if the one from uttins is the same type ??? HOLLY

If using a red laser for night vision, get a 3.5" floppy disc and take it apart. Use the recording material (the small record) and cut it to fit on your laser sight. It dulls the beam down and does not cause a bright flare in the night vision monitor or eye piece.
Two layers will be better for gen1 tubed units but watch it does not burn a dot in the tube.

If you mean me it was a day scope, a Redfield Rev 3-9x50 and a cheap green laser unit, which is clearly visible through scope and to the naked eye during broad daylight...but the dot is about 50mm+ at 35 yards or so...I was up the club yesterday and tried it, the green laser dot fills the big 40/50mm? kill zone on a tin chicken at about that range.
I had the green laser mounted above the Redfield on my old Phoenix for a while and found that the pellet trajectory would be within the spread of the laser beam for about the last 15 yards or so on a 35 yard zero...the laser light was reflecting off the inside of the pellet giving the trace effect, looked cool anyway!
