Title: Recommend me a torch
Post by: kirk13 on February 16, 2015, 02:01:18 AM: I think it's time to investigate a torch upgrade.

I've been using a LED Lenser P7 on the night time Airgun shoots at my club. It's done ok,but I think I need some more lumins,as,if there's another brighter light sorce around,it serious limits what I get to see.

So here's my spec list:
Price should be cheapish,say up to £40
Must be able to focus the beam
Diameter of the body must not exceed 30mm

Any ideas?

What batteries do you already have?

I've got an Eagletac T200C2 which is bright and pretty throwy but it's £10 over budget. I like it because it's basic and bright.

Post by: Gareth on February 28, 2015, 02:14:16 AM: Hey, the E01 is an excellent light, just maybe not quite as bright as you're looking for. ;)

I'd not come across the SRT6 particularly, but it looks excellent. Mind if I ask how you are mounting it to your rifle?

I've got two options Gareth. I've a bracket that straps over the scope with Velcro that I've been using up to this point,but I fitted a short Picatinny rail to the new stock on the Ultra. The torch needed to be the particular diameter to fit a 30mm scope mount,which in turn will mount on the rail

Surefire G2 series of lights are not to expensive and have nice throw. How far are the shots you take?
