Title: Spotlight on a scoped break barrel
Post by: OldFlyRod on August 18, 2015, 09:54:50 PM
I'm thinking on mounting a headlight on my NP2 for a little varmint shooting. I've seen a few combo sets with the light on top of the scope. Recently a member added some rails for a bi pod, I could do the same to mount a light.

I have a few questions:

How will does this setup work with a 3-9x40 scope?

How long do you think a decent light will last?

Where would would be the best place to mount it?

Any recommended proven brands for a magnum springer?

 Uh, headlight as in a incandescent car headlight, I don't recommend that. Solid state led car headlight, maybe better, don't recommend them either. An actual lamp worn on your head by elastic band. probably not a good idea either.  Recommend a using very good, high quality armament flashlight. Even these may not withstand the negative recoil of your spring gun.

 http://www.elzetta.com/ (http://www.elzetta.com/) Here we go, probably the best American made armament flashlight, bar none!

 http://www.surefire.com/ (http://www.surefire.com/) Probably the second best armament flashlights available!

Thanks Condor, i sure like the Elzetta Brand, but as always you have to pay dearly for that kind of quality.

It looks  like thats my route. Thanks again for your response
