Thread: Recommendation for scope mounted torch.

Hi all
Looking to update from old spot light and gel cell to something lighter with a nice range out to 75-100m. Bring on the recommendations!

Maxtoch 2x if you can find one locally @mudgripz you got one left ?

I don't have one Dan but pretty sure Greg Maniatis gunsmith in Christchurch has 1-2 plus gear. His number 027 4879611

Just put a Led Lensor P7R (rechargeable) through its paces for a couple of nights work. Cracking little torch. I have it in a bracket that goes on a picatinny rail with a quick release button. Good range and good battery life. Easily the best wee light I have used and as it is not mounted on the scope the rifle handles so much better. Get one! 1000 lumens. My old P7 was 450 so a huge jump up.

You can use a GM05 with a Nitecore torch of choice.



Coupled with a P30 long throw torch

Depending on the rifle, have you considered mounting the torch under the rifle. A piece of PVC the right size with a split down it and heated and shaped to spring over the torch works well. Keeps the balance of the rifle and the torch can go in and out of the holder as you want.

Much better under than on the scope I guess because its further forward. Cuts the glare out of the scope specially with a suppressor.

I can vouch for the Nitecore P30 great beam length and a lot smaller than the Maxtoch. Easily light up bunnys at 100m and the ability to go well beyond that.

Well there are a host of variants from the GM02 picatinny mount, the GM05 scope mount to the GM01 barrel mount - all depends on what you need/prefer.
GM02 and GM05 are by far the most popular coupled with a pressure switch.

Only way is this
I have Olight and Maxtoch
Same for both (same torch

I have some chinese lenser knock-offs. CREE type LED. Wiill fit 35mm rings/mounts with bushing (like pvc mentioned above) 3xAAA. Flood-spot adjust. 80lumens IIRC
My eyes aint good but I can pick up coons out to 50 just looking, 120+ through optics.

Do you have a aliexpress link for them? At weekend I tried to get some bunnies with air rifle using Fenix 220 lumen head torch but was a PITA as it needed to have the head torch pointed about 30 degrees left when walking so that it was aimed correctly when looking through scope. Then tried strapping my 650 lumen MTB light under fore end but its got wide beam so doesn't have enough throw. Certainly can't justify a Maxtoch as it'd be worth more than the air rifle!
