I have a sure fire scout. I don't remember the exact model, but it is, or at least was, a top tier light from surefire that comes with rechargeable batteries that allow it to put out up to 1500 lumens.
The placement on the rifle , very far forward nicely eliminates any barrel shadowing.
My only complaint is having so much weight that far out on the end of the gun.
I love how tight it sits to the rail. The bcm kmr is a pretty slinder rail and the light sits close enough I have to remove the rear cap to even remove the light.
Is there a comparable light out there that isn't quite so large and heavy?
The rifle is a completely different animal when the light is not installed. Much easier to snap to targets but the lights weight does tame the rifles minor muzzle flip a bit so there is a bit of a trade off.
The light I'm looking for doesn't need to be 1500 lumens. I'll settle for as low as 800.
I also wonder since surefire is so popular, does anyone maybe make titanium housings for my current light.
Im up for about anything as long as the new light sits tight to the rail and still has good performance.
