Rifle light scooe

[Doing it for the kids]

just missed a fox, twice, within range of our chickens.

This is against me religion and must stop.

To be fair to me I was using a tree branch as a rest which meant standing in tip toes and was using me left hand to hold the torch, hardly the right tools for the job.

Rifle is a 243, can easily take out a 6 pint milk carton at 150m

After a micro scope mounted torch. my theory is the main light to spot and this to finish off so I can use both hands on the rifle - a new experience at night!

Any suggestions please!?

Night master 800 (from Taclight) mounted on rifle scope would be good. Or night vision if you want to spend more£.
You need to be safe with a 243 so stability & identifying target is quite important [emoji2]

I only load 5 rounds in the mag - 5 thwacks,5 big exit wounds and back in by 11:30

Those 53 gr superformance are so destructive.

223,6.5x50 photon and bamboo quad sticks.

I know i took the wrong rifle last night, was only going up the road to drop the boy off
and the little rifle just came along for the ride. on the way back i drove round the grass field
that had just been cut, first one just moved as i fired, second one should have dropped.
good job i was on me own with nobody to take the micky

Thanks, I do like them but not bright enough.

 

[Nithsdale]

forget the NM!!!!!

Vastly over priced for what it is.

Lots of very good cheap stuff on eBay, or go to www.ludicrous-lumens.co.uk lots of very good kit, and great service too.

This company is good. Got a t38 off them (38mm lens, t67 is 67mm), it had a cracked lens on delivery so sent a pic and got a new one next day so easy to deal with.

Reflection is more of a problem from the mod I'd say, a bit of tube to shade the light works well if a little blue peter!

Night vision

 

[milkloss]

Do you NV users use spotters as well. Seems a bit ungainly to use the rifle to scan but ££££

 

[wr.]

My son also uses a spotter. Says it's easier and faster than scanning with the rifle

 

[joe soapy]

Think we need a thermal spotter for finding the cattle, By all accounts they can also be adapted for occasional shooting duties

Remarkable value for a 500 yard beam?

Sounds good doesn't it. In reality I find that the led light seems to pick up mist in the air very well and gives a very murky light much past 150yards. I haven't got a t75/67 or whatever that light you linked is so perhaps I'm wrong.

 

[Doing it for the kids]

I am going for a white light. Don't get the opportunity much to go out much so not so lamp shy.

The one last night wasn't which I suspect had 2 rounds over his head the night before!
