Fat toad Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 From a novice why do some air gunners have laser sight clamped on to their scopes and are they zeroed to the scope or scope zeroed to the laser or do you bore sight both with a barrel bore sighter it's quite confussing to me sorry get back to the question why put a laser sight on a scope?

linny Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 some people use the laser as a range finder IE zeroed at 30mt(air rifle) so you can allow for hold over or under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexterboyz Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 i use a laser sight and they are very handy peices of equiptment to have!! if mounted as close to the barrel as possible you can zero a laser in at 5m, if the laser is mounted very closely in line with the barrel the 5m zero will still be at zero at say 20-25m give or take a cm! why people mount them high on a scope i do not know :unsure: :unsure: but also how many times have you been out in a field, stoped for a rest and noticed a ribit right next to your feet? its to close to look through your scope and in tying to you would prob send the rabit running!! but with a laser you simply push a button and pull the trigger!!

northeastshooter Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 i use mine for close range rats so i no quickly were my POI is at 10yards as my scope is zeroed at 35yards find it very handy and when out lamping i can quickly target rabbit and see were my gun is aiming as soon as the rabbit is seen (gun mounted lamp) worth getting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPoacher Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I've used one as a rangefinder when using a .22 as the drop off is more than .177. It was also useful for highlighting any twigs that were in the way that did not show through the scope and rabbits in half light such as at dusk and dawn or moonlit nights when it was too dark to see properly through the scope but not dark enough to warrant a lamp. Also, as has been said; for close range ratting you can't beat a laser clamped right next to the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat toad Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Thanks to every body so most agree scope zeroed at long range kill shot.Laser mounted on barrel zeroed for very close range kill shot.good to use when light is poor and can also be used as a range finder and you can also track rats with it sounds like a useful bit of kit thanks for all your replies Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
