Thread: best scope mount for flashlight?

The lights were 6 or 8" around, doesn't make for easy handling.

That more or less looks like this same unit on aliexpress.

Only issue is the measurements of that weaver mount look wider than the one on my .22 rifle.
Do they come in different sizes? I can only see the one option from what I can tell.
Looks like it will be a perfect fit and should mount under my scope fine, and the quick detach makes it very versatile too.

The only other issue i see is my convoy flashlight is 26mm diameter, and the mount is listed as 25mm, not too sure how big a deal this will be.
