dicka 1 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 light force 170 for me i think sportsman guns have a deal on gun mounted ones at the moment Quote Link to post
Guest bruno527 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 'cluson' hands down for me..... the lightest smallest & more than enough beam to 100 yds +... GL2 simply superb !! i use mine on 223 & 6.5 Quote Link to post
blueboy 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 As a ex professonal nz deer culler I would go with the light force 170 it has the dimmr control , red lens filter, and adjustable beam. Overall a ex light setup and you can also get a mount for mounting on your scope. best of luck with what you decide Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Lightforce 170 everytime, gives you and excellent beam and clarity out way past 200 yards, rabbits at 250 look as if theyre standing next to you. plus its light,originally designed for kangaroo shooters in oz but cant imagine you have many round your way. ss06 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Cluson shootalite 2 on cz 22 good set up I use a 2d cell maglite mounted on my scope using bisley scope mounts the 2dcell battaries last around 3hrs but have a second pair "if required" I have found this quite a good set up and theres no hassle of wires or batt packs on my person. I can only comment from experience and find this bit of kit compact and precise to my needs I use it on my dedicated rifle for lamping the BSA Ultra .22 and have had numerouse results from it as I say I can only comment on what I have used and this suits me to the ground youy can have a look if you like on www.freewebs.com/nightcrawlerslodge/ in my guns section. Hi.. Thats an interestiing one but isn't it a bit heavy, what sort of lamp range is that giving you? Like the idea of being without the wire though. Cheers Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 A pal has just bought a Tracer Max with on/off, no dimmer. I was out with him on Thursday and its not bad, build quality is not great but a decent beam. I can get a Unit, Mains Charger, dimmer switch, 7AH battery and belt bag, car charger, scope mount, for just over £100 (colour filters available extra)..... Anyone any comments overall/value for money/reliability etc. Many thanks! Quote Link to post

Being the pal in question (I think ), I recommend the Tracer Max You're right on the build quality, could be better, but seems to do the job so I'm happy. Quote Link to post
Guest oldskool Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 i bought a shootalite 2 (1mill cp) for a brief spell because i wanted a tighter beam for lurcher work without having to go to lightforce... for shooting the shootalite was bloody excellent and the flip up filters are damn good too... its only the size of an empty bean can and just as light... in the end i traded it in for the 170 because for lurcher work the beam wasnt tight enough for my liking... one thing about cluson is they are flippin reliable and versatile... its a shame the spot was'nt a bit tighter on them because i would have like to have stayed with clulites...

camgun 0 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I use a Tracer Max, its paid for its self already with just the rabbits I shot. Picks up foxes a treat doesnt seem to spook them. Not much weight to them and easy to clip on/off. Cost about £46 just for the light got the batteries off ebay. Quote Link to post
