[ayrshiretaxidermy 29]

Cheers

What calibre rifle, what will you be shooting with it and how far away?

I use a Tiablo a10g on a 22-250, the light works real well if its a clear night, I can see clear to 300 plus metres . Its small light and bats last a long time. But if its not clear night because led is so white it picks up anything in the air . I have got lightforce lamps but when I am out nine times out of ten its the Tiablo thats on the rifle.

Deben tracer max with dimmer switch. Light weight you can also extend the battery life with use of the dimmer switch. Various filters available for it, battery is in a pouch and just fits to your belt.

I also use a tiablo, and agree with leeroy that it's better on a clear night, though 200 yards is usually do-able unless it's misty. It's a very good bit of kit and you don't notice it's on the rifle. I changed the remote switch on mine straight away as I feel it's too restricting having to keep your thumb pressed onto it.

Kenny where did you get that switch from and looking for one for my setup !

the lightforce is the better overall light in my humble opinion, and for the 22-250 the 400m lance would be ideal for you,

That switch was from an old lamp, but if you look on the web you should be able to pick a new one up for under a tenner.

 

While the tiablo's not got the distance as the lights snapshot mentions, I've found it's nowhere near as bulky or awkward, so it suits me when I'm walking long distance single handed sessions. On the other hand I do use the brighter lamps when I'm shooting from the vehicle or sitting out.

I have an Ultrafire 501 which I have modified with an ARHorton lens kit. Clearly shoots out to 200yrds. Don't need any more range. All for 45 quid

Fisheruk have you got any pics or links to that please???

I use the Clulite Interceptor, very adjustable, light, and a good beam as well as excellent burn time, but expensive.
