Using a holographic sight and a colored laser together?

Say I had a red dot and found a green laser, sight the laser in, then just move the red dot into the green laser dot's position and get a yellow dot as confirmation.

Anyone? Sorry if this has been asked I couldn't find anything on setting up a lazy mans tacticool AR.

You'll just see the red dot. Optically the red dot would cover up the green laser.

This makes me sad

Ok, between the carry handle in front of the RDS and this red light, yellow light, green light stuff, you're just trolling

This is more or less how the Redfield Counterstrike works. It has a red laser and a green dot. When the dot and the laser are set together you can still see both of them. They can only be together at a certain distance though since the dot is positioned above the laser.

Go to YouTube and enter "one shot zero." There's a couple of examples of guys using methods similar to yours. My experience is that the laser/red dot overlay method of zeroing will get you close on paper, but I still had to fine tune the adjustment by shooting. There's quite a few other videos with people giving zeroing advice on YouTube. YMMV.

Could you explain why you'd want to do this? The whole idea behind a red dot is to be a "laser" that only you can see.

The other thing about a red dot is that the good ones are parallax free beyond 50 yards... lasers aren't and are only good at one exact point so it'll only line up with a red dot in one exact location.

In other words, 99% of the time, you'd see two dots... and the laser would be very dim at any range other than extremely close.

Oh I'm sorry i just re read your post... so you basically want to sight in the laser, then use that as your zero point for the red dot...

The answer is that might work if you have a laser that can make a visible dot at 50 yards or more.

You'd be better off just zeroing the red dot... it's not very difficult.
