Ok I have a TNVC M845 scope.

My question is will it damage the scope to view a Streamlight laser through it? Red regular laser.

If its safe this will help me move my M845 between rifles quickly because I can sight it in fast. For example, can zero my laser with my ACOG during the day, then at night zero my M845 using the laser.

Thanks for your time.

Hello,

Unless you're using the laser at very close range and letting the scope set on the image for long periods of time without moving it, you should be just fine. Hope this helps.

If the dot seems pretty intense, a simple slice or two of exposed 35mm film negative or floppy diskette over the aperture  acts as a neutral density filter and will give you a med range aiming point without leaving a imprint. Add more layers to dim, remove to brighten.

Otherwise known as the "redneck IR filter".
