    I been using this on .22 and .243 and it works well. Down side is having it low mounted there is some flare coming off the centerfire suppressor. Im sorting a mount that fits under the bipod,gave it a run last night, so far so good. That dedomed sn was very shootable at 275yds last night.

    Hi Sneeze
    Do you find the torch heats up the scope much? got one similar a while back & guy who got it for me suggested not to mount on scope as the heat may damage the scope found it hard to believe really, seen yours thought Id ask.

    Yes my days of big bulky spotlights and poor run times from lead acid batteries are long gone thankfully.

    They have memory so turn back on to the last mode used. Shouldn't need to cycle through all the modes.

    This is what happens when you let the Mrs distract you well de-doming my way, you end up with a cancerous growth. Frankensteined it back to life though.

    Yeah just couldn't be bothered ordering one. Was curious to see if I could breath some life back into it and it hasn't appeared to effect its performance or obstruct its beam so will leave it like that until it fails
