They cost a bit to get, but they are worth every penny, and then some. They absolutely BLOW the ARMS mounts out of the water. So buy whichever one you want more, and then buy the other head if you see fit.Īnd as far as throw lever mounts go, larue tactical makes hands down the best throw lever aimpoint mounts in the industry. You can buy either m3 reflector seperately. anything beyond that and you need more lumens/a brighter hotspot. Overall, it is a good light out to about 100 yards, the turbo head a bit more. With the camera, you can't see much of anything. it goes from pure black to a gray, overcast looking state, but bright enough where I can see what is going on pretty well. When I shine the light into the distance, it's at a pond 100 yards away. it is not nearly sensitive enough to pick up long range light details like my eyes can. That's a video of the surefire m3 I made for you. That larger reflector narrows down the beam, and has more surface area. If you really want a 100 yard light, go for the m3 turbo light. or are you just wondering how bright it is? If so, it will blind you at night for a good 10 seconds if you get a direct hit on someones night adjusted eyes.

Why do you want a light that shines 100 yards? The chances of you shooting 100 yards with your shotgun at night are very slim. It clamps on between the barrel and the mag and lets you mount stuff on both sides. If you want to spend less money, you can get just a tapeswitch for around $20.Īs far as the rail goes, the only option really right now is the sidearmor rail. it allows you to use it as a push button light, and also as a tape switch. This can be anything from a 5 dollar ebay special to a 90 dollar larue tactical offset mount. To mount it, you need any laser/scope/flashlight with 1 inch rings. the battery on my good camera is dead, or else I would get a beamshot for you. The beam lights up my pond at 100 yards pretty well. His is mounted on his m4, I carry mine around in my pocket to beat people with. And If you have mounted a surefire your self please post a pic of it. Would be very greatfull for respons and feedback. I have seen a picatinny rail that you clamp on to the extension wich you can rapidly mount and remove the flashlight.Īnyone know how far you can see whit an M3 light in the dark night? Atleast a hundred yards I hope. Anyone have any experience of this and what kind of mounts I need to do that. I am thinking of mounting it on the mag extension. I allso need a switch Will this one work fine? Since it seems to be the best one on the market. I want it to be compitable whit both my rifle and shotgun. I have some questions regarding weaponlight for hunting.
