Mini8 LRF or LE-32 LRF on a centerfire

[Lone wolf]

Hi guys, I'm in the process of putting my .223 together in such away that I can use it day and night with traditional glass so the obvious route is a pard 007 which I've managed to get, I went with a 12mm version in the end.

I want to utilize a LRF for when shooting at night time, daytime I can use my handheld LRF but I want something that I can attach to the scope or even the Rifles chassis that will let me ping targets with minimal fuss so I can then dial or hold for the necessary adjustment needed.

I'm aware of the LE-32
ticks the boxes but I'm not sure if I can mount it on the right hand side of my scope, here you can see it mounted on the left, I shoot left handed so want it on the right, can it be mounted on the right hand side in the same way here?

Then I have come across the mini8 LRF, I've never seen or heard of this before so I'm a bit wary until I know more, but it is nice and compact, and I'm able to mount in on the scope or even the chassis with ease, has anyone got any experience with this LRF?

I understand that both will need to be adjusted once fitted so that in can see the LRF splash through my pard so I definitely need the ability to be able to move the splash into my sight picture and these two allow me to do that.

Have I over looked anything or any potential issues?

Shouldn’t be a problem with the Laserworks one, mount it on its side though, this means the laser splash will be horizontal, much more accurate.

Cheers mate, can the lazerworks one be mounted either side of a scope with the unit being the right way up if that makes sense?

I mounted mine on the right (left hander) I just took out the screen and turned it in the case. Take off the sticky cover carefully, then there are 4 small screws. The hw110 shows it mounted with the laser on rail on the case on the side but the screen was turned to be the right way up.

This was mine on the Impact, like i say mount it on its side to give a more accurate reading. I didn’t bother taking the screen off and repositioning it, just read the distance sideways.
What i did do too was to cover the display in some red film, its very bright at night lighting your face up.

Have an LE-32 and works fine for those of us correctly aligned . Not heard of the mini8 but would be wary of any optical device that is described in it's own advert as a 'multifunctional angle grinder'

Personally I'd go for the tried and true LE-32 with it's adjustable mount opposed to the fixed one on the mini8

Base also do a LE-32 type and also seen another that allows the mount to be mounted on 3 faces of the module so no need to read sideways think that one is branded wulf, also a few more about that are identical with just different brands on them.

Also don't forget Element optics do a scope mounted unit similar albeit 15× better quality with their balistic chip in that you can link to their app and once setup correctly will give you a firing solution, obviously it's 3× the price but it's another option for ya

It was developed for their HYPR-7 scope but you can mount to a traditional scope also link below
