no experience with it, but ones that attach to the end of the muzzle like this one; accuracy is dependent on how square the end of the muzzle is to the bore of the rifle. being off square even a thousands of a inch will affect where the laser POI is relative to where the bullet POI is. The greater the distance the more off it will be. the big advantage of one like this is it's independent of caliber.

agree on positives and negatives .... if it is to be used to get a sight close quickly, being off a bit doesn't matter .... they say you get it close with the Wheeler then fine tune with subsequent shots

It looks like a nice one. This discuss different types. I got the "Collimators and Arbors" type. I thought about the laser type. But, I was concern with battery life. So, I got one that did not require batteries. Yet, I may try a laser type one day. If nothing else, the collimator type did get me on paper though.

P.S.

This discussed another aspect that I considered (being indoors):

back when my scoped rifles were all 30 caliber, I strongly considered one that stuck into the end of the barrel .... now that our additional Henry rifles are involved, I've been leaning toward the Wheeler (or at least that type) .... all I want now is one that can be used on multiple calibers in the house so that I can have it very close when we get to a range

I'm still back to the same dilemma .... I just don't know if I'm willing to turn loose of the money for equipment I will seldom use

going back to the Amazon link in the first post .... they offer 2 models .... the only difference I can tell is the color of the laser .... the price of the one with a green laser is $118.29 on Prime .... the price of the one with a red laser is $74.99 ....

QUESTION : Why such a large price difference :?: :?: :?: :?:

Green laser diodes are the internal components to drive and power them are more expensive to produce and technology differs from red laser diodes.
