Anyone using the Crimson Trace VFG? Login/Join

I'm generally not a big fan of "all in one" type devices, but the ergonomics of this one has me intrigued.

My main question is: How troublesome is the offset of the laser from the bore? It looks like there will be some compensation in both vertical and horizontal hold at any distance other than set zero.

BTW: Real price is closer to $300

Several, for years. Offset is no biggie, you got wind and elevation control over it. 2 allen screws. The VFG I have on my HD shotgun is set to 10 yards. Rifle, 100.

I've got 2 of the reds and will be buying 2 of the green versions. Love the all in one solution so I'm not buying a separate vfr, light, and laser. And no wiring.

Very pleased with the solution.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

I would recommend not zeroing it horizontally, leave the offset. If you make it zero for windage at some distance, it will get wildly off further out, much more so than elevation.

So, measure the horizontal distance from laser to bore and if it is say 2" left, then you just zero it for impacts exactly 2" to the right of the laser.
