OK, I'm prepping my kit things in readiness for the (Rabbit) lamping season which I hope to start in another couple of weeks time.
I will be using a BSA Supersport 5 that I have just finished rebuilding and giving a facelift to as it has a slightly lighter !all up weight" than my Voere Semi Auto .22LR. The main thing in my mind is to keep the weight down to a minimum. The rifle is fitted with a 3-9x50 IR Mil Dot scope (Unbranded but plenty good enough quality for what I want) and a Sirocco moderator which is quiet and fairly lightweight.
What reasonably priced scope mounted lamp (Preferably Red but would consider Green even though I have never used a Green lamp for lamping rabbits as yet) would you guys opt for to fit on this sort of "leightweight outfit" to use for lamping rabbits out to around 75 or 80 yards (Maximum)?
I should add that I do have a (Red) Scope Mounted T67 which I used last year but it seems a little bulky and heavy and "out of proportion" on my "lightweight" .22LR outfit so I will keep that to use on my centrefire for when out foxing as it has a really good adjustable beam.
If any of you want to suggest or reject any particular make and model or seller of (scope mounted) lamps please can you say why - i.e. The pros and the cons, so that I can hopefully make the best choice of equipment for the job in hand.
Edit: The scope mounted lamp must accept or come with a "rat tail switch".
