    The Convoy C8 is an excellent smaller/cheaper alternative, still with all the range you need for rabbit/possum shooting with a .22. Single battery, so shorter time between battery changes, but that's not a big deal.

    Something like this - https://www.fasttech.com/p/2648900

    They're also available on Aliexpress, just make sure you get a smooth reflector version.

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    My 10/22 runs a Convoy C8 and its dynamite on rabbits and possums.
    My Maxtoch lives on the .223 for long range hare exploding

    @StrikerNZ Any ideas how does the C8 compare to something like a Led LenserP7.2? Unless I have new batteries in the Led Lenser she is a bit dim.

    Give the led lenser to someone you don't like, and get a C8 or Maxtoch. I have had lensers and they may as well not even be switched on when run next to the Maxtoch

    Thanks for the info, ill give the C8 a go, I presume I can just get a standard mounting onto the scope from Aliexpress as well?

    If you want to go a bit more upmarket/pricey for your scope mount try these;

    This bit for the scope - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...608.0.0.UCICYg

    Get a couple of these if you only have a 1 inch tube - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4pcs...608.0.0.UCICYg

    And one of these for the torch - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/30mm...608.0.0.UCICYg

    For about $25 US you get a couple of torch mounts.
