I actually purchased this item because the picture looks as if there is a mounting rail with it. I actually did not care about the laser, I wanted the rail. I will use it on something.

I bought the LS650 laser hoping to better my aim because my bifocal glasses make it hard to see the sights, on my Shanghi air gun, and target correctly. The laser won't hold a zero at all. Every time I shoot the gun the light goes to a different location. I know that because the pellet go to a different location. The adjustment screws are sloppy. Sometimes I have to turn the screw a full half a turn to start the light to move. I have emailed BSA 3 times and given them the same information without any response. It eats batteries like crazy. and at $7.50 for 3 their not cheap.

Pros:  momentary pressure switch (mps), years of (2 LR44 lithium) battery life, pin-point accurate up to 300 yards, brings 2 mounting rails ( 3/8" grooved receiver " airguns and .22 rifles) & 5/8" weaver style bases, good price
Cons:  had to use a scope in order to find laser at 300 yards, lol " oops, that's not much of a con, huh? "
Would recommend:  yes

I have nothing but positive things to say about this laser. I use it on a Walther C99, and it fits perfectly and works very good as well. Its easy to install, adjust and use. Not to mention that you could decide wether to turn it on/off with the main switch on the laser itself, or connect the (mps) momentary pressure switch and have instant accuracy at youe fingertips ! Not to mention that you'll get a crisp visual up to 300 yards.. The battery life is very good, I might add. I've had it for about 6 years and use it pretty frequently during raids, and I have yet to change the OEM batteries that came with the laser. All in all, a very good product, does what its made to do, and then some ! I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for an excellent laser for their rifle or handgun !

This is the worst setup I have tried to use. It needs 3 or even 4 set screws to keep it seighted in.

The LS650 is very difficult to zero, the screw adjusters are way too coarse. Just one shot from a 22lr is enough to throw zero way off. It will shoot way off target without your knowing. It should be taken off the market FAST.

This laser is a great deal. The module is compact, so it doesn't take up a lot of space on the rail. It also produces a nice, bright dot. The pressure switch is an added bonus as well. For 25 bucks, it's hard to find anything much better.

It is a good laser at at great price. It is easy set up and very good ajustments. Because it is manly made of plastic I would wonder how long it will last.

This laser scope is well manufactured and is easy to attach to, in my case, my .22 air rifle. I was very impressed with the quality of the scope especially at this price.
