JohnGalway Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 For rimfire rifles, .22lr, .17HMR etc. the Lightforce 140 lance. For centrefire rifles (OR if you intend to upgrade to a centrefire rifle later on), .223 etc. then go Lightforce 170 Striker. You can choose to get a dimmer for these lamps, I have for mine and they're very useful if you know how to employ them properly. Also, if you do get a Striker you can downgrade the bulb from 75w to 50w, plenty good enough to shoot using a decent scope out to 250 yards, possibly 300 depending on conditions etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few calling me stupid lately, I'm starting to develop a complex about it Stop, you'll make me cry soon :lol: Yep, I have to agree about the red filter cutting the light down too much, it restricts the range and identification, I also find the dimmer too fiddly, I just keep the light low so that I can only see the eyes untill ready to fire.
