Rifle Scopes Product Q on Long Distance Laser Designator

Anyone have experience with this?

I was wondering if it had any real merit as a night vision alternative (claims up to 250yrds) or if it was just a POS green flashlight. I would buy one of it worked as indicated to 100yards..

TIA

I would say in between pos green flashlight and nv alternative.
My brother and I played with both sizes. One was essentially broken upon arrival. We couldn't replace the battery b/c the cap wouldn't unscrew. The larger one was pretty cool, but there was no effective way to mount it to the scope. If they can come up with a solid mount, the system would kind of work. The beam spread needs to be exactly aligned with your scope's fov for the thing to work. My advice - don't buy. Both of my brother's went back.

Thank you for the feed back. At around $300, it's not a experiement I want to try blind.
