What Lamp Do You Use On Your Rifle ???

[wambamboo 1]

Hi Lads,

 

I was out lamping on my own last night,after fox,With the .223 and the hand held 170. As per my norm, I got into a few difficulties lamping and shooting.on my own.

I am thinking of getting a scope mounted 170.But I cant see a variable option are they available????? I will be mounting it on a centrefire and a rimfire. Any advice welcome.

 

 

 

I was wondering what the boys who lamp single handed use??

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

I use a Tracer gun lamp sometimes attached to a lithium battery in my pocket. The connecting cable has a dimmer on it.

 

Mostly I use a T50 torch with 3 modes though - no wires to get on your nerves.

Nightmaster 800 with the x searcher head and red pill , walking around I use a plr 500 wireless and when I see Charlie just put rifle on sticks and turn the nightmaster on

My only gripe is I need the adjustable mount whicjh is about 50 quid

Whatever you go for have a thought for how it will fit on your gun. I use a T67 on top of a 50mm Sidewinder. That's nearly 7 inches from the top of the barrel. It just about fits in the gun slip. Think also of the light clearance. You don't want it so far back that it lights up the front of the scope/barrel. Mine is infra red so possibly don't have to worry about the lighting up bit although I'm not so sure.

It used to look like a block of flats but I've recently acquired a night rangefinder courteously provided of Shane at CRS, Without drilling holes in my Annie the only place to put the picatinny rail for it is on the body of the T67 so now it looks like the international space station. Good job I use quad sticks cos I can't carry it around for too long.
