JohnGalway Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Lightforce 140 Lance for the bunnies for me, I would get one with an inline dimmer and I would use a 50w bulb (not sure if they come as standard or not) or perhaps less than that even. Don't need a lot of light for them really, as long as you can see what's behind them, but with a .22lr you're not going to be shooting too far.

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Cluson SL2 or Deben Max, with dimmer. My prefered is a Lightforce 140 with dimmer. Small & lighter than the 170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 and a red filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-Bore Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 LIGHTFORCE 140 works well on my HMR. Even the red filter doesn't stop lighting the rabbits up to 150m easily!! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I use a scope-mounted Lightforce 170, swapped between several guns. I'd definitely buy Lightforce again. Satisfying build quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 great lamps have to say I get on better with the hand helds but then you need a lamper with you, only issues I've had have been the cables at the socket end going. Always surprises me how much power they need as the cable can certainly warm up a bit and make the cigarette socket hot to the touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Deben lamps for me. Great ouot to 120m which is beyond my max range with the .22lr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
