I friend asked me to order him a good light to mount on his rifle. He wants his flashlights to be of good quality so I thought that a SolarForce would be perfect for him and since he doesn't need throw the P60 format should be sufficient.
So, would this combination work good (aesthetically and mechanically) or should I consider something else.

All input would be of help.
perfect application for an L2P with forward switch and single mode drop in.
Minor note though, the solarforce attack bezel on these lights does block some side-most emitted lumens. Its not much but it equates to about a 10 Lumen reduction with an XRE. I am not sure about the XML though.
Thanks for your reply kramer.
Good the hear that the combination would work as intended. If no one else has anything to ad I'm going to make an order today.
What kind of weapon is it going on and what kind of range at night is he looking for?
Ah, an obvious question. 
I don't now much about weapons and he doesn't know much about flashlights, so the information is scarce.
He get called out when an animal get hit by a car, don't die and runs off. He uses a Silva Alpha 6 (headlamp) as main light and he only need light just before he makes the shot. As I understood he usually shoots at short distances so an light with lots of flood should be preferred.
Today he uses an incandescent light, about 80 lumen so I guess an decent XM-L should satisfy. He really likes his warm white Shadow TC6 and I think he expects about the same lumen output.
If I had the option of any torch (that I have experienced) to be mounted on a rifle for animals out to 50 odd meters a Solarforce L2P with an XML drop-in with 2 modes: low (5% of high) and High (~2A) would be my pick. Once he has it, it will spend more time in his hands then on the rifle.
