K-15 Range Report
The K-15 didn't meet the website claims but it surpassed my expectations. Popped in a new SureFire CR123 battery and headed to the range.
Laserlyte claim: "The green laser can be seen in daylight up to 100 yards." And they got a video of a guy shooting on a sunny day in the desert. --- Let's start out by giving that claim a big
Reality check:
Blue sky bright sunlight.-- If the Sun is shining directly 100% on your target.... 50 feet max. If the Sun is not directly beaming on your target you can see it 50 yards on a white target (green lasers like white) and most anything in a little shade. I spent the day shooting at 50 yard targets with a Northern exposure. I could see the green dot on white paper somewhat easily but could not see it on a black shoot-n-see. At 50 yards.... the dot looks to be about an inch or less.
Low light, significant clouds, dawn or dusk-- Clear bright beaming laser dot as far as you can see.
Night -- Wicked... wicked cool. Solid green beam like a light saber as far as the eye can see. You really won't believe it unless you see it.
Indoor range -- Forget about it. Way too bright. Need dark sunglasses.
--------------
The best thing about the K-15 is how it mounts on the top rail. It's low enough that any red dot and many powered optics can be used in tandem. It's narrow enough to not touch the bench when you lay down the rifle on either side-- big plus in my book.
The sight adjustments are hex, stiff and hold zero (at least on the 15-22 anyway) . Will beat it up on the AR and see how it does. Remote cord/pressure switch sucks--- It's too stiff with no feedback at all. Never even mounted it.
Tacticool factor..... well.... ya know that's why I bought it.
as the 22 is a little light for the coyotes we have around here...
