LASER SIGHTS

[rex6666]

I was looking at optics on gunbroker.com they had a green dot laser rifle sight listed (no price, no bid)
says it works out to 1000 yards,  no name other than green dot.
has anyone tried these, not a red dot in scope but a laser?
how do you think they would hold up under heavy recoil?

Rex,
       It would probably work, but be careful of your state's game laws. Some states specifically prohibit the use of laser sights.

Just how far away do you think the laser dot would be visible during daylight? In a tactical situation at night, it probably works fine, but for hunting in daylight, it's use would be very, very limited, it's sold on ebay for $40 if that tells you anything. Might work for indoor shooting too.

I have one of those $40.00 red dots that came on  a barrel i bought, this is not the same thing,
these usually run in the $800.00 to $1000.00 range, but i can understand how it might be hard to see the green dot out at 2-300 yards even withe the magnification.
OK CARRY ON

I tried putting a red laser on a .22lr rifle to use at night while raccoon hunting, it seemed like a good idea at the time.  During the day, I sighted my scope in at 25 yards and then tried to adjust the laser to match where the cross hairs were looking.  I realize that the scope was mounted a little higher than the laser.  But the trouble I had was that the threads on the adjustment screws on the laser were so coarse that I every time I tried to move where the laser was pointed, the red dot on the target would jump by inches.  It was a cheap laser, but it did teach me to look and try adjusting a laser before I buy another one.  For an intended use of using on a shotgun or pistol for dim light situations and a range of 10 to 15 yards, you could hit where it is pointing.  Yes, I am sure that this laser could be seen several hundred yards away, but not by me.
