Favorite Green Laser
“LASER,” is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, (I didn’t know this, so thought I would share)
I am looking for a low profile green laser that will fit under a scope on my picatinny rail. I saw one mentioned here before, but I cannot find it again. Do you have a fovorite laser? If so, would you share the good and bad about it? Will it keep its zero? I have seen a bunch of green lasers online, but, first hand information is usually better than the sales jargon that comes from the factory.
Thanks, Terry

Flamethrower – Wow what a neat accessory!

so the ND3 is not good for close varmints?
I have my red varmint light but it is large!
I want to put something on my Edgun that will light up critters under 30 yards and wack em at night!
I have a red laser on my TSSS and it seems tha it is good for few things….I use it to get a rough zero when I change from my Burris 2×7 Fulfield to my Bushnell 32005x15T…. It was also useful to determine frame flex on AF guns.
I just remembered that I did use it once to snap shoot a Raccoon in the guts one night just before it disappeared behind the house with a LBT 56 grainer.

I know for a fact turkeys really hate having a green lazer hit them in the eye.
I have one but took it off the rifle. I used it a few times on skunks and porcupines at night, but they were somewhat illuminated already by ambient light so it was easy to see where I was pointing it.
If you have enough light to see your target, they work great for quick shots on moving targets (you could ask the skunks but they are dead) as long as you keep the range reasonable.
They aren’t legal to hunt with in some states though, so be aware of that if it matters to you. 😉
A Green laser will leave a track right back to the “ND” light emitter.
A Red laser will NOT leave a track, but you need to get up around 20mw or so to make it powerful enough to get the job done, and even then you need daylight/twilight to be able to see your target.
Supposedly, -5mw is the legal limit on laser power. However, you can go on Ebay and order them up to 200+ mw easily.
I’ve had both. Green is definitely the most powerful. The ND is a high powered flashlight and not to be used as the primary targeting instrument. It simply is a focus variable 20mw+ laser flashlight. The only advantage it offers is a very focused, bright beam that reaches out way beyond a regular visible light spotlight, and can be used at night with a scope.
I wouldn’t recommend a lasor for targeting beyond distances of 20 feet or so, in daylight. Even with a scope, that tiny dot is not easily spotted, and it continually jumps all over the place. Unless you have a bench rest, that renders it pretty limited, even useless, in practical shooting situations.
Just my experience. I’ve sold every one I’ve owned because they simply don’t work as expected. Save your money, it won’t do what you think it does.

I have a laser designator, the nd3. It’s ok as far as using it at night, mounted on my scope. A little heavy but does the job. I’ve used out to 60+ yards on jack and cottontails but, I think they work better in conjunction with some other (true) night vision optics. Just my opinion though. Also on a side note, the ‘targets’ do see that green laser being flashed in their eyes even though the company claims otherwise.

The ND3 sub zero will do that easily. I’ve shot tons of rats with one .
It does go through batteries but does what it is designed for well. YMMV.
