Blackbart Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Any body used this scope mounted lamp on a cf rifle ? Thinking of getting one but before i shell out best part of a hundred quid i was wondering if anyone has used it for foxing and what sort of range are you getting with it. Good points/bad points sort of thing. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Use it on my .222 and it throws a beam to 200 or possibly 300yds on a really dark night. It is really useful as it has the dimmer switch and you needn`t blind a fox at 60-70yds and therefore you won`t spook them if they are close in.

Blackbart Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 That is what i am looking for,anywhere in the 2-250 yard mark is spot on.I thought their claim of 350-400 yards was a bit optomistic and the dimmer is a help.

bullet boy Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I`ve got a Tracer Max and would`nt use it for Centrefire work!I`ve bought a Lightforce Striker scope mounted lamp for fox control and in my opinion this is by far the best scope mounted lamp available!My advice to you would be to pay that little extra and buy the Striker-its a miles better than the Max!!!!!

Blackbart Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 My mate has just got a lightforce scope mounted and i was impressed with it,nice tight beam and good distance too.Only thing is with the lightforce it works out a lot more expensive when you add the stock switch,battery etc etc.Is it worth the extra if the max does 250-300 yards ?

deadeye ive Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 My tracer max is good for 400yds and eyes can be picked out alot further than that but most Fox control is around 100yds anyway .When out with a lightforce user once (Not sure what model his was )we both thought the Tracer was as good .My only complaint is the connecters are.nt brilliant but htey can be easily changed. Cluson do a nice compact Scope mounted lamp . If you have a large sound moderator then you will have problems with scope glare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Rimmie not C/F. Had all the Deben lamps & think there good but now have a Lightforce with filter & dimmer. I know what you mean about cost but save up, get the best. The money I've lost by buying second best means I could of got a Lightforce set up quicker. Get a s/h Max with dimmer for now, get an extra battery if needed. When you save up through next summer & sell the Max in the autumn/winter you can get a good Lightforce set up.
