The Somogear NGAL clone shows good zero retention across calibers but has a slight horizontal laser offset. Its painted finish wears, which the host prefers. Testing confirms powerful visible and IR laser outputs, exceeding expectations for a clone. Mounting can have play on certain handguards, but can be mitigated with proper torque or washers.

Quick Summary

The Somogear NGAL clone maintains zero retention across calibers and features powerful laser outputs (Visible High: 16.8 mW, IR Laser High: 15.9 mW). It has a slight horizontal offset (approx. 3 MOA at 100 yards) but mounting play can be fixed with proper torque.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Somogear NGAL perform in terms of zero retention?

Testing indicates the Somogear NGAL maintains zero retention across different calibers, demonstrating its ability to withstand recoil without shifting its point of aim.

What is the measured laser power output for the Somogear NGAL?

Actual measurements show strong outputs: Visible High mode at 16.8 mW, IR Laser High mode at 15.9 mW, and IR Illuminator High mode at 13.1 mW.

Are there any mounting issues with the Somogear NGAL?

Yes, some mounting play can occur on handguards like BCM. This can be mitigated by torquing the mount to 30 inch-pounds or using a lock washer.

What is the horizontal laser offset of the Somogear NGAL?

The Somogear NGAL exhibits a horizontal offset of approximately 3/8 inch at 12 yards, which translates to roughly 3 MOA at 100 yards.
