Slipster Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I was out lamping Charlie last night with a scope mounted Deben Tracer on my Rimfire when he popped up only a few feet away I never got chance to get a safe shot and this got me wondering if i could mount a lamp under my 12 bore side by side I could still walk round with the barrel broken and im sure would be safe. Just wondered if its worth persuing Any thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightforce do a shotgun mount which fits sbs, o/u and single barrel. Not sure if Deben do shotgun mounts but you could email them, they're helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plexer Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I didn't think going around waving the barrel of a gun with a lamp on it was such a good idea anyway? Regardless of wether the gun is broken /uncocked/no loaded or whatever? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of wether the gun is broken /uncocked/no loaded or whatever? Ben Its the same as going out with a lamp attached to a rifle tho isnt it? I have a Lightforce 140 with a rifle and shotgun mount, when i go out with the shotty i just keep the barrel cocked and scan round with the lamp on the underside of the barrel, then when i need to shoot, close up and fire.

browningstalker10g Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 ever hard of your saftey? a rifle is loaded when u scan the horizon for eyes so a shotgun is no more or less dangerous well a rifle if anythings a tad more so, the down side is that when shooting a botling rabbit the rabit will usualy be out of the light as the light will be ahead of the rabit as the beam on the mounted lights arent that wide, your better of with a mate using a larger lamp, makes for a more enjoyable shoot having abit of friendly competition and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort fo sounds silly - but i have a deben Tracer Atom pro mounted under my Hushpower .410 - it works a treat when lamping Rats etc - i got a mate who is an engineer to make a bracket out of ally to clamp around the can.
