This green Laser is very bright, but still can't be seen outdoors in the sunlight.
I am talking not at all. I thought I saw Barska advertise this laser is efective
at 50 yards in daylight and 1000 yards at night at the Barska web sight.
I went back to the web sight and see that the language is taken away/not there.
Well that is fine.
The Good
Mounts perfect on the rails, easy as 123.
Super bright indoors laser, very sharp
Windage and elevation adjustment is a dream
Has both a pressure switch or a push button switch configuration
Uses the CR-123A Battery
Built very solid, high quality aluminum.
The Bad:
Not suitable in bright sunlight, will have to try a cloudy day beacuse I was
able to see laser on a large platform less than 25 yards away that was in the shade.
I could not see the laser on a target only 25 yards away that was in the direct sunlight.
Other than that it would...Read more

First words:Scary accurate. Held a 1", 5 shot group at 50 yards. Extremely bright during night, visible during day. It easy to see during the day on a target that is not in the direct rays of the sun. A sinch to calibrate/sight in. After going through 200 rounds on a ar-15, after sighting it in, it held zero perfectly. Well built aluminum construction, clear crisp beam. The pressure switch works great on a fore grip. Very impressed with this product. Was a little leery on how it would retain its zero on a ar-15, no doubts now. I would now recommend Barska laser sights to anyone looking to get a great laser for a great price.

I bought this for my coyote hunting rifle, I wanted to sight it in for 100 yards and night hunting. I figured if I put the beam on them I sould be good for quite a many yards out.
The good,
It is much brighter than my red lasers and I can see it on a building over 1/2 a mile away. I can see the beam all they way to the target, awesome to see at night. The pressure switch has three points for contact so you will definitly turn the light on. I will have to wait to see how it holds up to actual hunting. The mount locks up tight and won't move, I like it. All tools needed are supplied. Company is in California.
The bad,
The beam at 100 yards is about the size of a softball. That is really too big for what I want to use it for. Out at 200 yards it would be too big to use at all. I will go out and do some tests but I was hoping for a tighter beam. The on/off switch tail cap has some issues, sometimes on, sometimes half on, and sometimes on full power. The momentary...Read more
