spiceychilli57 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Good idea you can get alot of great shooting at night with a spotlight for company Ive had great success with the lamp on my pcp rifle, with the break barrel springer was a bit interesting putting a pellet in the barrel probably just me multishort pcp works alot better. Lamp wise i dont know the current range very well but you cant go wrong with a tracer atom or simmular, if you can get one with a brightness control it would be worth it, and i wouldnt go for a big heavy one but suppose that obvious Red filters good for lamp shy bunnies but you loose alot of range having it on compared to just the white light, interesing how you get on with it Spicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbuster Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Don't know if they still do them, but Deben used to do a great compact scope mounted lamp. Runs off a small 6v battery-the beam is perfect for air rifle ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a red light youre after, try sending UKPoacher a PM as he does a nifty red led torch that's very bright at air rifle ranges, much better than a white lamp with a filter as the filter can absorb/block 2/3rds of the light.Bonus was it was about £28-£30 if I remember right.

bullet boy Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 A Deben Tracer Max is a good light if your not looking for something too small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 A Deben Tracer Max is a good light if your not looking for something too small! but perhaps a little more than really required...... ...or the MINI for Air rifle range, get the PRO version and forget daft things like the Atom, you will just about see the end of your barrel if you fit a red filter on that!
