Anyone know of a green laser for my rifles that's bright, aimable and won't be ridiculously expensive (or am I asking too much)? Would love to have one set for 50 yards.
Bright, adjustable GREEN laser?
- Thread starter Gerry52
- Start date
$26 on Amazon (link below).
It's pretty bright.
Comes with all kinds of mounting wear.
And finger pressure switch.
It's adjustable like a scope, with elevation and windage turrets.
I'm sure these turrets won't last long.
I read that turning them beyond their limit can break them.
But again, at $26, it's a great chance to try it out.
And then go out and buy one for $100 or $150, that will last.

Gerry!
I have used a laser sight on a revolver....think yer steady....think again! That laser will bounce around like its pants are on fire along with a patch of fire ants munching yer butt.
Not sure what you wish to shoot with one, but I would think that you'd be better off with a dot sight. It works exactly like a scope but without the crosshairs, just a dot (or a few other reticle variances like a circle, '+', or circle with '+'). There is NO projection like a laser has.
You can find some that are pretty inexpensive, so that part fits for ya too.
I had mounted one on the left side Picatinny rail, since I'm right-handed, and it worked great (until I sold the gun and have yet to reinstall on my current). I'll likely reinstall it this week though.
I have one that you can try if ya wanna give it a go, so ya know how it functions.

Thanks Mike. Well pal, yet ANOTHER ground squirrel season has passed without us getting together. I picked up another property in Valley Center a couple weeks ago + the two wineries in Ramona that Tony turned us onto so NO EXCUSES come Spring! Thanks for the offer but I'm going to order one I found on Amazon. If it doesn't suit my needs I'll return it. Very kind of you to offer. Stay safe & shoot straight.

Gerry, if the lasers scope body is 1” or even 30mm, and you have a designated pic rail on your gun you were thinking of mounting it on, consider using the Monstrum quick detachable scope rings for picatinny mount. The connection is strong, and can easily be removed.
I’ve tried the lever tightening QD styles but they never cinch down tight enough. These Monstrum ones work well and are relatively inexpensive
Here’s a link to the 30mm ones

I have this green laser for 10 meters and below when browsing tree branches without looking through my LPVO. Tried it at my gun range and at noon full light it is visible on white paper background at 50 meters.
Low profile, it fits below my scope bell:
Edit:
Forgot to say it is rechargeable without removing. On top face you see that circle there the magnetic contact attaches.

I'm a big fan of this one: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/373401202813
The main novelty is you can adjust the diameter of the beam.

OMG ... usually I am at the laser end of the gun and not at the point end .... but your question is valid.
@ 10-20 the dot is not big, looks like maybe maxing 1/2", if I remember well at 50 is about 1" maybe. Let me measure the dot itself in my basement, I will be back.

OK, here is the green laser dot size. In my basement two diagonal corners in clear sight are 22 meters and I had to make some gymnastics to show this laser thingy. I can confirm from the laser to the paper is about 21 meters.
The red dot is my bore sight and the green dot is sighted in for 7 meters. The squares are 10x10 mm, the green dot is visible smaller.

I got & tried a Feyachi laser from Amazon yesterday. Ridiculous! Once it's mounted it'll but impossible to access 2 of the 4 W/E adjustment screws! Defeats the purpose if one has to REMOVE Laser to adjust it! It's getting returned today. I'll follow some of the suggestions here.

I was at my gun range yesterday but forgot to check, so I had to go back today again just to check it for you 
Overcast, light snowing, minus 4C, noon time.
The green lazer dot I could see on target and backstop with naked eye @50 meters. I could see the green dot @ 100 through the scope.
