Hi fellas
Thought I'd try my hand at lamping and went looking for a sutiable light in weight torch to do the trick and found this........
http://www.qualityflashlights.co.uk/termekekmain.php?csoportid=70
Throws a beam 250m (apparently) so more than ample for air gun lamping!
High Power Setting of 250 lumens, 90 lumens, 7 lumens or strobe.
I wont dazzle you with the gumpf as I'm sure you'll read it on the web site.
I purchased the torch, weapon mount, pressure switch so mounting on the S10 would be nice and easy. The package comes with a detachable belt clip, detachable cigar grip, lanyard, glow in the dark rubber on/off button, cordura belt pouch. Its well packaged and has a lifetime warranty! Not bad for £53.00 for the torch only (around £70 for weapon mount & pressure switch included)
Pics as follows......

As you can see its very flush fitting to the rifle (via a picatinny side rail) and doesnt ectrude too much that it could snag on clothing/vegitation.

Have used it once and even on its low setting of 7 lumens its bright enough to see 20yards at night, the 90 lumens is good out to around 40 yards and the 250 lumens......well that nurns the rabbit retina's out and can spot them out to a good 150 yards, then the beam begins to flood out to 200yds. The evening I tried it on was a nice crisp clear evening and even a .17 HMR could possbily use this torch. NV a better option obviously though.
In its current position on the rifle I get some shadow cast from the suppressor within the beam but nothing that detracts from its ability to illuminate a target.
Its not heavy at all, 120.5g without batteries, and is barely noticable once added to the rifle and runs off 2x CR123A batteries.
All in all a good little pruchase and more than suitable for short range lamping and I'd even put my neck on the line and say .22 RF suitable also if NV isn't within your budget.
I'll try to get some video of the beam at night so you can see its true power.
Any questions just fire away fellas and I'll do my best to answer them.
