Yeah marksman I agree with you although I've never use the screw on mount but I definitely have no reason to go away from the magnetic type they hang on tight hey
Mate how do you find the distance of the beam with your Olight i'm not sure my batteries are fully charged and I reckon mine shines for shooting clear to 300m is this the same with yours i'll probably have to wait till my batteries go completely flat then recharge them to see how mine are actually performing
l have been using the magnetic mount on the u/o shotgun
l still use the scope mounted figure 8 style on the scope
at full light (1200 lumens)or set on the medium setting (720 lumens) at 300m l have no worries picking up rabbits ect,
high steps down to 720 lumens after only 5 minutes, it is gradual and takes about 2 minutes, the light doesn't slowly get weaker and weaker like with other type batteries it will all of a sudden just not work when it is out of power or down as far as it will allow, that's why l have a light to find them and a light to shoot them
when the leds get hot there is a reduction of light as well and heat will kill the leds quicker, you can get back to high by turning the light off for a while and turning it back on, a backup set of batteries is a good thing although most of the time l dont use them
a lot of the time l am walking around in the dark flashing a light around occasionally till l find a target
if l'm in my car l usually use the roof mounted light or if l am being too lazy to set it up l will shoot off the bonnet after finding a target with another light
l have found that the Olight can be too intense on full and scares the quarry away even with a green lens so l like to set it up on medium
