toka_shigazu Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi, I am about to get one of these i think??!!! it is for airrifle and rimfire, a lighter option than my deben tracer max. a few years ago i looked at the g&p high pressure xenon torch and am wondering how this stinger would match up. it wont be my main light source if i am looking for any foxes but i wonder how far the beam can be used to spot eyes etc before moving in. i know the posts i received re the g&p indicated that you could pick out eyes to 250 yards and easily see targets to 120 yards, will this stinger be similar?? any comments welcomed.... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I am awaiting delivery any day now of one for use on the air rifle for after dark bunnies. I'll let you know how I get on.....or maybe write a quick review...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning GTS Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) I have a deben gun light but have just mounted a fenix TK11 on my .17 ok no good at more than about 100 yards but great under that. The big differance is no battery to carry around with wires to get caught up on every gate and barbed wire fence ok it does not give quite the range but i think being more portable makes up for this, as most of my lamping is on foot. Just had a look at the stinger and they say it is good up to 70 yards with a run time of i think under an hour where as the fenix gives over 2 hours on full power and up to 9-10 hours on low.

Edward Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi I have got th stinger and I use it on my escort, you could see to proberly 80 meters with white light but if you have the red filter as I have its down to about 50 meters, but thats fine for what I do. it also makes a damn fine torch. If you do get one make sure you get the rechargable one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
