Australian made laser sights.
Green, Red and IR lasers.

What do you use it for ? I tried a couple years ago and found them to be as useless as tits on a bull

Throw out any info on Aussie made kit that deserves a shout out.
Links and photos appreciated.

I would like to ask... A Kit For What.
I've been shooting and hunting for near 60 years and I don't have anything special in what..?? Rifle gear and/or clothing or other stuff like boots.
What is a "Kit"... ???
Maybe I'm too too old.

Not quite 70,,,,, but getting there.
As I take it,,,,,, "gear" could be anything that could be found useful at any given time. ie: your piece of string.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"kit" is I think an Americanised word possibly taken from the forces that probly is synonymous with "gear"
Yep,,, gimmee the old genuine Army Disposals stores anytime.
Nowadays they are full of sh!t that is made in China

I've got a Toasting Fork I made from fencing wire.... Use it often out Varminting when sitting around the Camp Fire... Oh!..and the Cast Iron BBQ Plate made by a customer in Auburn NSW... visiting their Foundry and seeing what it was all about was eye opening from a Bank Johnny with no idea but just checking out their business,,,then asked if I wanted a BBQ Plate.... Hell yes, come and watch how it's made.. hell yes... Week later, go pick it up. They were the days when people went out of their way to help others.... And the customer knew what he wanted,,, and was right
I would pay twice, three times or more as much for anything Aussie Made.... If it's quality.
Sorry, that's me.....
I breed Aussie Angus Beef and I can guarantee it's Aussie Made.....

I wouldn't consider paying hundreds of dollars for a laser, but they do have uses.
Swapping sights without having to re-zero for example.
Shooting rats in the shed with an air-rifle in poor light.
Also very useful for load development on firearms that don't easily mount a scope or don't have sights.
Absolutely useless leading moving targets of course
Apollo wrote:Hi LJC, but either I'm too too bloody old (over 70yo) to understand but I am not clear on what you call "Gear".
Are you talking about Reloading Gear, Firearms Gear, Clothing Gear, Footware Gear or what...????
Sorry but "Gear"... how long is a piece of string.......
Been on the "Land" for well over 40 years and I have never used anything special in the way of gear to go out and have a shot.

I am talking about everything and anything like you mentioned. Even the piece of string.
Just on the hunt for quality local products that I can look at for myself, or mention to others that they exist.

I checked them out, having an interest in that sort of thing. Was shocked by their prices, and from what I gather these are just the diodes with drivers and case. No mounts or similar. Happy to be corrected though
Using pilfered bits and buying a driver you can make some quite powerful lasers for under $10 or so.

Well, I'm sorry but I think it's going to be hard.
Some specific items like Boots and Coats etc I'd say unless someone can give you an example to something you asked about is going to be hard.
My pet hate is to find out big name products when you get them say "Made In China" and that really s**ts me to think I've be done over yet alone someone in Australia that has had employment suffer... eg my example of a Leupold Range Finder...... If I knew it was Made In China I would not have bought it...Simple...
Other than say Kit or Gear how about some specific items like Boots and Coats and other stuff and ask what people have but make a point of locally manufactured...
As I have said....cheaper overseas so what might be 10 bucks posted I'd rather pay say 30 bucks if it was made here in Oz and support my mates.
Now, I don't mind importing stuff or buying imported stuff that we can't get in Oz BUT BUT as long as it doesn't come from bloody China...
If everyone hasn't got the hint .... I hate this "Made In China" s**t story.... stuff the Wung Flu Pricks.....
Sorry about the rant...
Unfortunately their website isn't the best.

These lasers are complete with windage and elevation adjustments, pressure switch, mounting hardware, water tight and fully serviceable, high quality laser that holds its dot size and shape for a great distance (You won't get that with a $10 diode) .guaranteed to withstand any recoil you can throw at it.
I've played with cheap laser sights before buying mine from laserex, they're worlds apart.
The laser I bought from them is extremely compact, its about the size of a Bic lighter, perhaps smaller.
