There's a lot to be said for mounting a torch under the forend. If you want the torch mounted on the scope, I find a simple figure of eight mount works well. Cheap and quickish release, although not as fast as a proper quick release.
basically the same set-up I have except I just used a scope ring with hand twist knob on the screw to tighten to rail rather than a 'proper' quick release .Quote:

I did find though an overly heavy torch or torch mounted to high above the scope can screw up the balance of the rifle and it can want to tip sideways . So light and low torch is your best bet if mounting like this in my opinion .
The Olight magnetic mount sold by Sarvo - GRhunts is way way better than those upside down scope mount things. Super strong magnet that is rubberised so no marks or scratches. Mount is adjustable for zero, so the torch can be taken on and off at will and it stays zeroed
They look bloody good and would solve the issue of needing multiple mounts for different rifles but.............Quote:

Best info on the magnetic mount.

I have an oval torch and just use velcro straps from Aliexpress, cheap and works great
That's what I run on my Bush Pig with an M24 Maxtoch. Very quick to fix or remove, quite stable.Quote:
