Cycling a gun lamp

[Ruger Red]

Dear all,
Just started shooting again after my friend asked me to help shoot some rats that were infesting a horse field shelter his family owns. I bought a new webley longbow with airmax scope and weihrauch silencer. Unfortunately no money left for a lighting kit. I had a good set of bicycle lights (cateye rc230) so was able to fit them to the scope with a minoura swing grip SG3. The minoura swing grip is a device that usually fits to a bicycle handlebar or stem enabling extra space to add lights , computers etc. Once the swing grip is fitted I can easily fit ulta bright led lights or the rc230 lights (2x10watt, wide and spot beam, 6V) to the T bar. Not the prettiest set up but does the job. As I recall the SG3 swing grip was £14 (www.wiggle.co.uk).
Hope this helps anyone who have spent all their money on a new gun and pay day is an eternity away.

Just been to halfords and bought a cateye daylites solo II light model hl-rc220 which with a little bit of adaptation will fit onto my scope ok, along with the on/off high/low switch.
Complete kit was £19.99 because they are old stock must say ime sure it will do the job and yo uget the clamps included supposedly for handle bars but will go on scope.
Thought this might be of interest.
The only thing i will have to make is a tube to stop the glare.

make your own gun lamp from the lighting spares section at wiggle, a 12v sla alarm battery and a 35mm dichroic halogen bulb - mine cost about £20 to build gives me 35w with a 10degree beam - made my own filters too

dont bother with the 6v stuff - batteries and bulbs tend to be expensive in comparison - plus i can get all the spares down the road
