Deker 3,478 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 What sort of distances? Torches are taking over and getting better and better, so the odds are that will be the route, but some of the older type lamps still have the edge in distance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilbur foxhound 480 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 A t67,3 mode torch from eBay you will get 2 batteries a charger and a clamp to put it on your scope all for 30-40 pound,and you will see a fox clear enough out to 250-300 yards even with a red torch,wf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know manufacturers state massive distances, but how far the beam will (may) reach, and at what distance you can still see clearly and confidently enough to take a shot are very different things! Some of the "lamps" will go further. Edited February 20, 2018 by Deker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My assortment of Night Vision equipment takes me way past 200 yards without problem, but I VERY seldom find any need to shoot further than that at night (actually almost any time in the field).
