I'd really like to add a laser sight to use with the scope on my Trail. Does anyone here use a laser/scope combo, and if so, how do you like it? Are there any particular models you would recommend (or advise against)?
I would appreciate any and all comments, as I have never used one before and would like as much information as possible. Thanks!

If you're going to use a laser on a "non PCP" than my advice would be to make sure you buy a good one as the cheaper models will not hold zero as a result of rifles recoil. I have a BSA light/laser combo on my Air Force Talon and it works fantastic but there's no recoil to deal with.
I'm sure some of the other members who have more experience with specific models of lasers will chime in and give you their advice.

Thanks, Jeff. That's the kind of information I was looking for. I know the recoil on a springer or gas piston rifle can wreck a scope not rated for airguns in short order, but I didn't know if the same held true for laser sights.

had a scope and laser on my g1 didn't like the laser. if you mount it on top of the scope it stuck up to high so i laid it down to the left horizantal with the scope but that didn't work out AS when you shot at a certain range it was dead on but before or after that range it would shoot to theleft or right depending on if i was closer or farther away from my zero range
