sako751sg Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Have a T67 but was thinking of getting a new torch for Xmas so looking to see what folk have used and recommend. Looking for a nice tight beam well out and gun mountable with not too much bulk. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I recently got an EVO T67 as, from the torch factory. At its tightest beam at 80 yds ,it is too bright ! So has to be widened,only tried to about 200 yards,but its the best Ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im looking at the Nightmaster 800 but not sure what the difference is with the Xsearcher? Edit,maybe ive got it wrong and they are all Xsearcher but thought i read it was a different head?

Personally, after having checked the 'IR' on the two torches side by side, there wasn't much difference between the two, with the XSearcher slightly better. But, for the difference in price, I would stick with an EVO one. I intend to try the two torches side by side with Red pills fitted, just to see what's the best.

steve_b_wales Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Cheers for that Steve. Be fine if you could let us know how you get on. There is a photo somewhere on Facebook, showing the two torches with red pills, switched on side by side. Very little difference, as far as I can see. But as mentioned, I'm going to conduct my own test using identical, fully charged batteries. I'll put my findings up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 UPDATE: I fully charged 4 identical make batteries and fitted them to the two torches with red pills. I shone them at pine end building at the back of my house, and the range is approx 70 yards. I found that the XSearcher beam is slightly tighter, but not a lot, but very little difference in brightness. If anything, the XSearcher looked to be the best. But, as mentioned before, the difference in price need to be taken in consideration. I would certainly recommend the EVO 67 torch with 'AS' red pill. It's also good with the IR one too.

Cheers for that. Kind of set on the Xsearcher so will probably go that route but the Evo sounds top value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
