They,re too dumb and lazy to make slam guns.
They want glocks like the gang bangers in the rap videos. Has to your match with your nikes and gauchi right bro.
Flooded arms markets, global auctions, stolen credit cards, stolen ID. Where’s the risk.
Just click and collect.
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned

The main thing I was after is out of stock. Looking for a rail mounted light for my shotgun. The Pro Valkyrie looked OK but has a built in battery which does not sound good..
Watched a video there but the guy was a yank and talked so fast I could not understand him . He mentioned something about the built in battery but could not catch it.
The rail mount kit hangs down to far so is out. Never mind , keep looking.

I bought a konus (what they stocked) for 260 from my lgs worked great the first time, got about an hour out of it out to 200 and super bright.
not as great the second time less time and only about 150m
and wouldn't turn on the third. Picked up a cheap 40$ job that runs off 4 aa batteries from the competition lgs does a better job than the konus..... It still turns on. Gets me about 100m happily 150 with new batteries
I'm not sure if its just a cheap 18650 battery that came with it or weather its the torch itself. Or the charger Will have to buy another cheap 18650 just to see

What about the magnetic one? I use that on my shot gun has never looked like coming off (bloody strong magnets) have also whacked it on the barrel of my 308 with no issues after my spotlighting helper fell asleep :roll:

Spotlighting helpers don’t actually fall asleep but they pretend to be asleep. It’s because somebody else is having all the fun shooting and they are tired of always being the one to open and shut the gates ... and they figure if they are seen to be asleep u might turn the Ute around and head home

haha true, but mine usually end up doing most or all of the shooting.... could have possibly been avoiding the gates or trying to get home before McDonalds shut :D

Look on eBay for the shadowhawk or Goreit Cree LED torches.. advertised at 60000 lumens. I'm not sure how accurate that is but I use one on my .22 and it's bright enough to identify a bunny out to around 60 meters or so, powered by a 18650 battery..and will fit into this mount with a rubber shim. I have a couple of these torches that have different branding but are essentially the same, one of the chargers that comes with it, with the 240 v was sh!te, but you can get a good one at Jaycar and some spare batteries too while you are there.
Edit.
I use the clamp picture at the top for the .22 but the other gadget is essentially a scope ring with a pic rail mount, should be good for the shotty.

No im not affiliated with them at all, just a very happy Olight user so far. Love my Pro 2100 outfit, & thinking about getting one of these new Warrier X's for the second rifle while spotlighting.
