I'm not really well versed on optics. I know the basics. I am building a Ruger 10/22 ArchAngel for fun, but on a limited budget. I saw at a gun show, a scope with a laser sight on the side that could be used three different ways:
1. As a 2-10x40 scope.
2. Standalone laser sight
3. Activating the laser and looking through the scope, basically producing a red dot sight whereas you see the red dot of the laser through the lens.
I want to get something like this for my Ruger. Problem is, I only have about $80 max for the optic. I know I'm not going to get anything great, but it's a rifle mainly for fun/looks/plinking/short range target shooting.
Also, I guess I don't really understand how this whole thing works... are these always one unit? Would ANY laser appropriately zeroed with any scope produce the same effect when used together?
