Even Don't Laze Me Bro's 377mW RPL could barely put a dot on a hill 7 miles away, far as I remember. The only way you can get the burning and stuff with that is probably an sf-aw210 blu-ray or a cheap green pen, which would also include lots of IR.

Do you want 15 miles? Or 50 miles? 50 miles in unheard of...and a blue laser under $70....also unheard of. Unless you want 445nm which will do all those things (except the 50 miles thing). Yet...the diode is $50, you still need a host and such. The only thing you will get that can do that stuff, for $70 is red, but you won't have a visible beam in daylight without smoke or fog. Here:
New Style red laser 200mW /adjustable [OLNRL200] - $44.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

And if you want homemade....I will give you a parts list for each color. Here we go *insert wall of text*

RED

Diode (20X burner)
http://hightechdealz.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=33

Driver (4 options)
rckstr: (this limits your options for kits heavily)
http://rkcstr.nfshost.com/index.php...id=201&zenid=2e3569d3cad87a91f75a279ecc955726

Groove V2: (same situation as rckstr, but better than rckstr)
http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Groove_2.php

Flexdrive: (your best option for DIY)
http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Micro_FlexDrive.php

Boost drive: (not as common as flexdrive, but just as small)
http://hacylon.case.edu/ebay/laser_diode/Micro_BoostDrive.php

Module (for mounting the diode)
http://hightechdealz.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=36

There are tons of host/kit options. But I'm not an advertisent, and I don't want to be seen as biased. So only 3 names come to mind Ehgemus, Jayrob, and IgorT.

All in all, it'll cost about $78

I won't mention blue because there isn't enough known to pass info on to you to make a successful build.

Violet (405nm blu-ray)
Diode (SF-AW210)
http://laserpointerforums.com/f55/amk-gb-sf-aw210-diodes-10-each-51176-7.html#post710709

Driver (same as the 4 options I already posted)

Host/build, same as above.

Module, again same as above.

Total cost: $78

And lastly, the odd-ball, green.
Module (I'm going to refer you to a 150mW so you can have all your requests, but this one won't be cheap.)

Module (150mW O-Like module)
http://www.o-like.com/index.php?mai..._id=17&zenid=02528c196707b3a3418530ad6e235de0

100mW module (half the price)
http://www.o-like.com/index.php?mai..._id=16&zenid=02528c196707b3a3418530ad6e235de0

No need for a driver, or a module.

Host, from Jayrob, both options are ~$75.

Total(s)
100mW: $135
150mW: $175

It's up to you what you do, but those are the options.
