I've just been using the cheap, rubber Two Fish mount. Also have the Fenix mount but have not used it - will likely end up on my MTB.

Which mount are you referring to?

The one I use is rubber, uses two Velcro straps and goes on in about 5 seconds. Works fine - a number of dead foxes will attest to that..... :lol:

Costs about $5 delivered.

Yours was dear, mine was about $3.30 each :lol:

They work really well as well. Hopefully Glen will be selling these in the future....

No one is probably interested but I will post anyway. Finished my final design of a Wolf Eyes torch mount system. The mounts are very very small, they are quick release and no screws can be lost and their are no parts that become seperate from the torch or the scope.

Its a 30mm 4 screw sporthmatch mount with a piece of picatinny rail screwed to the top with two 4mm allen headed screws. That part of the mount sits on the scope permenately and is much smaller than the objective. On the Wolf eyes is a Leupold QRW low ring mount. Takes 3 seconds to fit and 3 seconds to remove. The QRW is smaller than the torch and remains on the torch so nothing can get lost.

The mount for the scope is 30mm but I machined a plastic bush and cut it in half that spaces it for a 25mm scope. Different size Objectives require a different size QRW mount, Low for 44-50mm Objectives, med for 50 - 56 mm objectives and a high for some 56mm scopes with an AO.

Trev, definitely nailed it, the best QR system I have seen for ages including the US$150 flashlight mounts. Looks like some good quality parts were used making it


PS Nice timber on your CZ

Its surprising what a little lateral thinking and action produces. Well done Trev I am definitley interested in that mount mate! If you are going to make more I will put in an order now. Please let us know when you have worked out you costs etc and go for it.

Torch mounted on a savage shorty using the sling swivel. Savage shorty is a fully suppressed carbine version of the savage mark 2. Torch is an aurora P7 - rated at 900 lumen - probably puts out half that but is great little setup for the possums.
