GL Laser: A local supplier.

[Stardrifter_WA]

Just a heads up:

Yesterday I found a local supplier of Green Light Laser Rifle Sights.

Snow Fox Imports Pty Ltd
Phone: 08 9248 9235
Mob: 0417 989 251
Web: www.arcticfoxoptics.com.au
Address 48 Beringarra Avenue, Malaga 6090

Below shows the laser kit and how it is mounted to my scope, via a rifle scope rail.

These are 5mW and have an X-Y adjustment for accurate alignment. This is the third Actic Fox Laser I have bought (for my new scope) and I have found them to be good. It cost just over $210 for the complete kit including a lithium battery, which is the cheapest price I have paid for a GL laser rifle sight.

He also has some binoviewers he is clearing for $100 each.

Cheers Peter

That is a neat solution Peter. Hunting stars is probably an easier life for the laser compared to its original purpose.

[Stardrifter_WA]

Sure is; hunting stars is much more fun.

Without the laser I would find it quite difficult as I have back injuries and the laser makes life just that much easier.

Cheers Peter

It is a pressure switch Brian.

:shrug: you lost me here Peter ?
I know I will kick my self , but whats a ' pressure switch' ?
Brian.

[Stardrifter_WA]

That is OK Brian.

Sorry, my fault, I should not have assumed that you would be familiar with these.

As this is actually a rifle sight, it has a pressure switch to turn it on and off. This pressure switch is meant to reside next to the trigger and the palm is pressed against it to turn it on. It is better than a normal switch, because you can conveniently locate it on the scope.

Cheers Peter

Check your laws about GLL in NT first Brian. Here in WA GLL's are classed as a "controlled weapon", meaning that you have to have a legitimate use for it, astronomy being one of those uses.

I don't know what the laws are in NT, as these laws are definitely not uniform across Australia, with Victoria having the harshest laws, from what I can gather.

Cheers Peter

Very tidy.

Mind you, the $30 green laser from the thread recently just arrived here, and it is amazingly bright. Certainly does the job on the scope at night.

[Shark Bait]

Which laser pointer or module was that Poita?

1mW, 5mW or higher?
