whats the brightest torch you can get , something about the size of a mini-mag or half the size of a D-cell , would be ok , as it needs to be fitted to scope or barrel of rifle.

I have one of the BSA ones which come with it's own mount. Very bright and compact. They show them on BARs web site.

We're getting married, Weevie and me.
You can get a surefire G2 nitrolon from Heinnies for about £30. It has the same bulb unit as the more expensive torches but it is plastic rather than aluminium. It is still very strong though.
It comes with a 60 Lumen bulb, which is 4x brighter than a 4Dcell maglite, and is smaller than an AA maglite. Batteries life is only 1 hour though, although it isn't often I find I use a torch constantly for an hour anyway.
Its more than adequate for lamping rabbits and a 120 lumens bulb unit is available as an optional extra, although it cuts battery life to 20 mins.
There was a thread recently where someone said they had found a US source that came to £18 posted incl. taxes etc, but I haven't used the company concerned.

At a guess, the answer would be: http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/...4204/sesent/00
Or 'kin should be at $2900

Goes without saying surefire g2 everytime.
Great torch virtually unbreakable, choice of colours and cheap if bought from surefireparts on . (great service and damn cheap).
I spent ages agonising over which torch to get and after an exhustive search and with help from on here i got the G2 and have never been so impressed with something so cheap.
just my thoughts

ps - buy a g2

forgot to add about batteries......i buy panasonics from canada off and they work out after P & P at a massive 79p each so its not an expensive torch to run either.

You could always try Candlepower forum I've had some good advice from there.
I personally have a Surefire E2e which is great. I also have a (mini?)Maglite with the LED conversion from 7dayShop which is left in the glovebox of the car for emergencies.
I hope I didn't brain my damage

Hi Pandaboy,
Does the led conversion eats up battery faster than the normal ones?
