I bought 2 of these off Amazon,one worked one didn’t. Recommended to take apart to check out battery connections and couldn’t get all the screws out, probably cross threaded. Anyway sent it back snd they sent another one. Well I get it and it works right out of the box, so I charge it now nothing. WT.F ready to send it back and get my money back but figured I run it by u guys for a fix.

I recently purchased the VOTATU P4L-G. I've had zero issues with it so far and have been pleasantly surprised with it based on cost. I guess if nothing else, that's the big plus buying from Amazon, you can just return it and get your money back.

Those cheap Chinese lasers are luck of the draw whether you get a good one or a bad one. Unfortunately the price jump from a cheap amazon laser to a quality laser is ridiculous. I just talked to a guy who has a Votatu and his works like it is supposed to, at least so far. I wonder how long the non replaceable internal battery will last but at the price point I guess you can just throw it away when the battery dies.
I just bought a Holosun lS117G and I am happy with it so far. It is made in China but is backed by a solid company.

Yeah, kinda thinking the same. I'm not too worried about it considering how little it's used. Oddly enough, last night I was hunting a chisel plowed field and all the snow had melted. I'll be damned if I could find my call. Went back to the rifle and shined the laser on it, worked great

Wait till the sun goes down and focus your thermal reticle on something in the background (I used a tree that was about 200 yards out) then use the small allen that came with the laser to make the adjustments so the laser is pointing to what the reticle on your scope is on. You'll likely have to go back and forth a few times until it's right (kinda like bore sighting by looking down the barrel if you've ever done that before). I've done it twice now (moved laser to a different rifle recently) and it's been spot on for me in the field.

I just zeroed mine a few nights ago. I set up 100yds from a meter base on a building. I could see that glowing in the thermal and the laser reflected off of the glass when I dialed it in. A light bulb on a building works well too., I use binoculars to verify that the laser dot is centered on the target.
I use the neighbor's metal building with a dusk to dawn light in the gable. My Thermion is zeroed at 200 and that is where I do the laser. My laser is a pistol laser mounted on a short pic rail at a 45 to the scope so the adjustment always takes moving both allen screws to make it go either up/dn or lt/rt.
