 Topic: Light mountsPosted: 17 Nov 2013 at 9:10am |

Came home at midnight last night and there was a possum on my patio.
I had to hold my torch as the new scope has highish turrets and the mount i have won't clear them, Once youve had a mounted light you can never go back right! Anyway I delt to the possum but decided I need to act. Found this online http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=661328620 It's VERY tall but could be good. I wonder if it will be stable being that tall? Could be removed and fitted as needed which I lke the look of. I made a great shot on a magpie this last week, about 40m I would think. Had a good week with the gun. Still waiting on the trigger................................ |

Have you seen the scope mounts you can get with weaver rail on top ?
Then you could get a weaver mount for the torch. Its what i use for my laser designator. |

I did buy the quick detach plastic one so I will write it up once I check it out.....
If it doesn't work I will do the weaver thing.... |

I personally wouldnt use that. Not for springers anyway. You would vibrate those cheap screws lose in no time

Why not use a barrel mount one? Or attach a ris/ras rail to the side and use weaver mounts?

I use a quick detacth on my 410 shotgun, no probs with recoil affecting it.

I got the mount and it seems fine so far.
They had kind of a flange past where the light is held that stopped me mounting it where the rail is so I cut them off. Now it looks better (more compact) and I can mount it anywhere on my scope even where the rail mount is (the gap between the mount and scope is to small for a regular light mount). The only thing negative I could say is the thread is plastic, but seems fine the plastic is very hard and nice. I put a little lanolin on the thread and it runs smooth. I can pop the light on in about 20 seconds so it is nice not to have the mount there all the time. |

yes that's the one I have with the double circle but it was not tall enough to get the torch above the scope adjuster turrets.............Pain.
Also It would not go between the base and the scope so limits mounting options. The one I have now is so quick and easy. I leave it off so it's not in my way during the day when I do most of my shooting but it goes on so quick and easy I can hear a possum and throw it on when I need it. As I said I did cut the ends off which improved it 100% was only $17 on trademe   |
