Green Laser

I don't about that laser. I've had this one on my 15-22 for about 2000 rounds and it is still working and holding zero.
Amazon.com: UTG Deluxe Tactical Green Laser Sight: Sports & Outdoors

Only problem I had was the cheap no-name included battery cut out under recoil. Replaced it with a Surfire battery and it's been fine since.

It is super bright, on paper at 15 yards at an indoor range it hurts if you stare at the dot. No problem while shooting as you only look at it long enough to press the trigger. I've used it in a pitch black tactical scenario (competition) with a rail mounted flashlight and it is the way to go.
 
Going Green...

Hey Phil:

We've got high clouds today, some shadows are visible, and I can easily see the green dot out to 60 to 75 yards. Was using trees out in the back woods as "targets".

At the range the other day -- in full sun -- I'll admit, the green dot was tough to see; almost useless... But to be honest, I think that would be the case for any green laser in very bright sun.

That NC Star model also uses a CR123 battery, just like the one you posted, and so far I am pleased. It is at its best just before dusk or on cloudy days. To me, it was just "something else to add to the rail" as a fun/backup option to scope/sights, but I wouldn't rely on it for daytime sighting.

Have not tried it at night "yet" ;) as the 22 is a little light for the coyotes we have around here...

Good luck.

Thanks. Sounds like your laser will do the trick. Mounted, how high is it from the top of the rail?

Sorry Phil, can't help you with that, as mine came with a barrel mount, and not the rail mount shown in the pix at rrages (which I actually would have preferred). From that pix, you may be able to guess-timate the height though.

I ordered the Kryptonyte from Midway. If nothing else, at least I'll have a laser that few others have. (why do I have the feeling that's not good) :rolleyes:

Holy fark... that thing is $250 bucks! Granted it does have the Tacti-Cool factor of looking like a PE-Q box, but daaaang! :)

$189.00 after $10 coupon from Midway + $4.95 shipping. Looking for it Wed. It will serve my Bushmaster too.

Belt_Fed said that my 15-22 has already saved me over $6000.00 in ammo over my Bushmaster. So.... I figure the least I could do is give a little back. :D:D:D Dang Belt_Fed and this disorder....:p

Well he does have a point... The money saved has to be spent somewhere I guess! :)

Buck Eighty Nine ain't so bad.... Hrmmmm.... NO NO NO!!!!! Dang you people! :rolleyes:
 
I have a Viridian Green laser on my Taurus 24/7 9MM pistol, works great, i put it on my 15-22 for a litle bit, worked great there aswell. I put it back on my pistol though, cause im just no good with the Reg pistol sights on the gun..

LOL!

As a S&W Forum member recently said-- "It's only money, isn't it?". And besides.... this is positively the last thing I buy for the 15-22... :rolleyes:

Oooops. Meant to tell ya there's a Midway $20 coupon. So that would be $179.99. Actually, it's $20 off 200 or more... so something worth a penny or more would have to be added to the cart.

Gratuitous shot of me lazing the front door in the dark, 'cause it looks cool.
 
They really need to shrink these Diode's down so that LaserMax can make a guide rod version for my Beretta! I emailed LaserMax and they said it's not gonna happen in the foreseeable future :(

dude i had to read that twice cause i didnt read diode the first time... but when i read lasermax i knew id made a mistake lol:D
 
I have a viridian X5L, it's like having a light saber. It has the light as well which is not super bright but good enough if used correctly. Very nice piece of gear.

I have had 2 chicom green lasers on my AR, the recoil killed both of them. I took them apart and re focused the lasers and now they are used to annoy the cats.
 
I agree this gun has saved(?) me money, and i want one of those cool green lasers, but still have a hard time digesting the $250 price, heck, that's half the price of the gun!!! Right this coming from a guy who now has a $900 15-22...lol, god, i love what we can do with this gun. I think i'll wait till the price drops before i get one.
