Ball of ****e dont waste your money, you will regret it and will have on sale here in a few weeks.

Pure gimik the sub zero are bigger than the normal ones but they come with this poxy flimsy bracket that lets it wobble all over the place wich is no good as the area that it lights up is only about a foot so if it is not set to where your scope is facing you will see **** all.

Dont waste your money ! I bought an Optimus laser designator off ebay. I think it came to about €130 including postage and it includes everything you need to mount it and more. Also the beam is variable focus which is great.It is a serious bit of kit though, says on the box it can illuminate up to 1 mile away :cool:

They're pure ****e. My mate got one and it was a joke! He finally sold it for HALF what he paid and the lad that bought it is trying to sell it now. A gimmick if ever I saw one.

I have it on my .17hmr and occasionally put it on my .22. No problem seeing rabbits at any distance with them. I think the furthest I shot it was about 110-120 yards no problem. I haven't tried it at longer ranges when shooting but it would definitely illuminate a fox out to 500yds if you adjust the focus. Id recommend you have a good scope as well though preferably one with an illuminated reticle as it can be tricky to see the crosshairs at longer ranges. It definitely surprised me though because I was very cautious about buying it. €130 cant go wrong Id definitely buy another one !!

Definitely dont buy a laser genetics. I think the very very basic one here is about €250 and ardee sports have the New Laser Genetics ND3X50 for €500

There just not suited for Ireland, the weather effects them too much here. For the type of money there looking you could have a good led torch and lamp setup. I used them in the Nevada desert and they are class but that's miles of flat surface and a nice warm evening shooting coyotes, as for here they can't cope with the cold and wet weather.

Never seen one, never felt the urge to buy one, there seem to be a LOT for sale second hand which tells it's own story.

I own & use on a regular basis the ND5 for night shooting,never had an issue to date & don't understand the negative comments about them,cannot comment on the ND3 Series as no experience with it but the ND5 in my experience & opinion is an excellent tool for night shooting.Have it now nearly 3 years & wouldn't be without it.I think the Green Laser light is highly effective on game as it doesn't spook them.

This is it on my Sako 75 223 highly effective at 150-200 Yards pretty good for safe night shooting.

have the nd 3*50
have to say love it it isnt very good for bunnys for some reason they run of maybe the laser is to intense for em, but its brilliant for foxs esp lamp shy foxs and the beam can change from flood light to very tight spot light,
