Thread: Spotlights for rabbits

I've struggled to find anything that comes close to the wire also. Who supplies these Maxtorch's? Costs?
I need one.
I have a R14 I'd happily exchange for something decent.

MAXTOCH Sniper M24 Limited Version 1250lm, AR Lens, Copper LED Base, Long Shooting Distance Hunt Flashlight-in Flashlights & Torches from Lights & Lighting on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Anyone bought one of these guys?
I've had mixed success with Alibaba, some good, some junk, some last a week.
Looks good how long will it work?

They are excellent to deal with Grotto.

Ordering from China is easy. Just type in your CC and it arrives in the post. When ordering from the States you always get raped on the postage but from China it's normally free postage.

Maxtoch.

I'm running an M24 sniper on top of my scope of the 243 for roos, or the HMR for hares. I run an older single battery maxtoch on the 22 for closer work.
I have a dozen batteries in a pouch that I charge up for a trip away and they last all weekend. HID's don't show up wallabies eyes, Maxtoch LED's do.

I love my Maxtoch M24 Sniper. I have it mounted on my scope on my 10/22 and see anything through the scope like it was daytime, but I would suggest running Panasonic batteries, as the Chinese ones don't last long, their ok as a backup though.

Spare batteries are sooooo old. Fuck that. Then when you forget to take the spares your screwed. Then needing a recharging bank to do the recharge? I do know someone that does this. Are you mad?
Climb on bike, turn key, flick switch and go. Sure beats now where are all the batteries? Did I charge them?
Weight of torch equals way more than it needs to be.

Wirehunt:- But what happens when your target animal moves to an area that you can't get your bike and cable spot light into.
That where the Maxtoch shines !!!

Never had that issue. Standard spotlight 223 and bike gets me everywhere.

Who the fuck walks spotlighting is my question

The whole idea is to be lazy and not walk ffs

Depends on the farm. On one farm I have to walk. All the paddocks are small and lots of bunnies around the sheds are spooky, so I walk.

And some of the others are huge with no tracks!

Some of the best shooting you will get - and big numbers - is by walking terrain at night. We popped over 1000 in an evening twice about 3 years ago and almost all of that was walking with torches.

You can use a powerful headlamp to spot them or perhaps a maxtoch on a a neck lanyard. When you see your animal just drop the torch bring the rifle up and pop the scope light on. Or you can just use the light mounted on your rifle to sweep paddocks.

Either way you don't want a big lightforce or similar for this job. Not when an M24 weighs just 270gms and is more powerful.

If you are going to walk it all then forget the torch. Thermal.
