    LED M3R Torch

    Hi all,

    I own a LED SEO 7R head lamp and am considering purchasing a M3R as a back-up lite weight torch for hunting trips. I read a write up in Rod & Rifle a few months back which suggested they would serve this purpose pretty well...Just wondering if anybody has any experience with these torches. How do you rate them? Does their small size make them uncomfortable or difficult to hold and use? The specs suggest both torches put out similar light levels.

    Thanks

    i have one and love it. great beam and light weight. I have however buggered my switch a bit by constantly holding it in my mouth while doing things with two hands and not having a head torch on hand.
    Would highly recommend it

    Thanks Buggun708 & Happy, will check the Nitecore out! Cheers mcche171 - my idea was a small lite weight back up torch which will spend most of its time in the day pack dry bag and only come out to change batteries on the SEO 7R or if it crapes out.

    I haven't seen the Nitcore, but the Maxtoch is a very well made piece of kit. Not a thrower but great for trails and tents, etc. I prefer gear that runs on 18650 cells as they have greater energy density than alkaline.

    18650s are the way of the future for sure! And love my Nitecore.. I might get a maxtoch just because... Merry Christmas to me 😀
