George1990 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Winter's on it's way, so a good lamp is on the Christmas list. Lots of info in the airgun section, but I want to shoot to 100 yards or so as it will be on my HMR. From what I can see it looks like I'll be paying for it. :blink: Would like scope mounted, and a good spot light effect. What do you pro's use? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Lightforce 170 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Agree has to be the lightforce 170 I have a rifle mounted one for use on my own and a hand held one. wouldnt be without them Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 yep the 170 is what you want, I've got both scope mounted and hand held but really you only need the scope mounted as its easy enough to hold when its not on the gun. Seeing anything with a moderator fitted however is another thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I was out on sat night on my own and noticed that I couldnt see anything after the rifle fired (17 hmr and mod) due to smoke? in the light, havnt had that problem before, could it be atmospheric conditions, or just that the lamp is at a differen angle than before,for some reason i dont get to much glare of the mod Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone find the variable beam to be of any benefit? The Deben Tracer range looks quite good, and a similar price range to the Lightforces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Seeing anything with a moderator fitted however is another thing Sunshade, and a neoprene mod cover I've gun a sunshade here that will fit a 50mm obj - let me know if you want me to drop it of FOC... ?

al4x Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 cheers for that but got a screw in one and still seem to get the problem, though i only tend to need it in late summer for sitting out as lamping proper I tend to have someone to hold it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone find the variable beam to be of any benefit? The Deben Tracer range looks quite good, and a similar price range to the Lightforces. If it is for around 100yds only the Tracer max is a good piece of kit, lightweight easily clipped on and off and comes with an on/off and dimmer :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 There's a Lightforce 170 in the other sales section. Scope mounted with dimmer. In my opinion you need the dimmer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George1990 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks. I'm on the lookout for a second hand Lightforce 700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 yep the 170 is what you want, I've got both scope mounted and hand held but really you only need the scope mounted as its easy enough to hold when its not on the gun. Seeing anything with a moderator fitted however is another thing Get a plastic plant pot with a mouth that fits over the lamp, cut the bottom off and use some gaffer tape to hold it in place. It funnels the beam and makes it clear the mod. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
