This is above your listed budget, but the Xtar TZ20 meets all your criteria and you can get it with the pressure switch included. Not sure where else you can get it for this price with all the accessories (other places charge more for the versions with the accessories)
The larger the calibre of the weapon the more punishment it is going to hand out to the light (and the user). If my HS-802 is anything to go by, it won't take the punishment and is a pure pig to get apart. My search skills appear to have abandoned me just now or I'd post a link.
The MRV single mode from Manafont sounds like a good idea.
I went for the UF 501B R2 at DX http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ultrafire-wf-501b-cree-r2-wc-250-lumen-led-flashlight-black-1-18650-2-cr123a-16240
$13.01. With the 28mm glass aspheric lens it makes an awesome thrower. Manafont have a suitable pressure switch http://www.manafont.com/product_info.php/pressure-switch-for-ultrafire-501b-flashlight-55cm-p-4991
If your'e concerned about durability.......buy 2 or 3.
spray n pray... otoh, skeet shooting does require skill and quick reflexes. im really looking for a good light for my bushmaster. flat black, with good visibility @ 100y, good wide spot. and must look good to, not ugly up a beautiful black gun
I think I will just continue this older thread, since my needs are almost the same.
Any updates to situation?
What I need:
-Rifle light, moose rifle, maybe a bit more recoil than in shotguns etc.
-Size can be larger than P60 host, no problem.
-Weight: no problem
-Diameter, also irrelevant
-Pressure switch compatibility not mandatory
-LONG THROW!
–18650 for runtime
FYI, don’t use protected cells in a rifle/shotgun light. I had a perfectly good AW 18650 in my shotgun light and it failed after the first few shots. I think the protection circuit got crushed.
I think it would be preferred choice then to use a single 18650 light.
I´m not too fond in using 2 x 18650 un-protected especially, when this setup will be used by someone else than myself!
On experienced hunter I know searched for good flashlight for hunting a long time, and he stoped and JEtbeam BC40 - it suits his needs perfectly. But he use it in shortened version, with 2 16340s.
He us it on combined carbin/shotgun gun, dont know english term, for a year already and he goes hunting almost every second day (during summer each day, haha)
His requirement though is that flashlight is as light as possible.
Without that, you can go to wider reflectors.
I would go with Olight M3X or something like that… 2 modes, nice, strong and wide focused beam, great… Its a great buy. To bad dinodirect dont sell them below MRP price anymore, hah
(I wouldnt put HD2010 on the rifle, there are many much more suitable lights I think…)
