suggest away

Post by Sir huntalot »

Hi all,

Now I know this has been covered a fair bit but I need a straight answer. I want a tactical flashlight to mount on my .22 scope. An dI know all of you wioll say buy wolf eyes it is worth it in the long run, but as I am still young (14), I don't have the money to buy a wolf eyes. Anyway I want this torch as I said to mount on a scope so it need to have a mounting bracket and I want it with a tape switch. So yeah suggest away!

PS. I am hoping to get this under a hundred dollars.


cheers

Under $100 you have to go os check out dealextreme.com and also do some research on candlepower.com they have reviews for every torch and price range then just mix and match bits for your needs. But if you could stretch the budget wolfeyes or fenix would be the choice

This torch.

Order the tail switch at the same time. Get the neutral white, smooth reflector for maximum throw.

These batteries:

This charger:

You will need a US to Aussie plug adaptor - from Dick Smith etc.

This rubber mount.

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12000

It will get you very close to $100 and this is exactly what I use and have shot many rabbits with. I don't even bother with a tail switch on mine.

$5 or $7.50 US for the torch.

Two of my mates have dealt with these blokes a few times, they are apparently good to deal with.

Postage from Deal Extreme is free. Slow, but it's free and gets there in a couple of weeks.

I think a Wolf Eyes Sniper mount would fit as the Eagltac has a standard 1" diameter body.

I am actually leaning toward this set up. I saw it on another thread on here. That you had commented on. Saves me abit of money aswell. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.20392 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13820 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16847 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12000

It will work fine for me i think.

cheers
