can this light be used as a rifle mounted light for hog hunting? how far will i be able to see with it on full power?

Also keep in mind that battery life is shorter the higher the brightness setting.

yes you can buy mounting brackets for this light to put on rifle. I can see clearly down to the end of our street which is well over 75 yards. This light will light up my whole back yard and it is a good size back yard. I am personally very happy with this light!

If you mean mounted on the barrel as a tactical light I would think, no problem.I've never tried this but this is a very durable light.

Gerard's answer is spot on. If you're using this for hunting, although it can be shot accurately out to 60 - 100 yards, it is probably not a good idea to try to take an animal at those extreme ranges as there's the possibility of only wounding the animal and not killing it.If you're just curious how far the bolt would fly if you're going for maximum distance, it'll easily go a few hundred yards, so do NOT fire it in the air. You have no idea where it'll come down.

The sight works very well and is more than sufficient to provide night capability for self defense. I've scouted my neighborhood at night with no moon and can clearly make out images at 100 yds although, this would be well beyond self defense ranges - perhaps if one were hunting at night picking off vermin this would work well. The illuminator is included in the new packages, runs of easily found batteries, has a self shut down timer and can illuminate outwards to about 50 yds on dark nights. Under half to full moon the illuminator was not required. For the money, this is a quality unit that should work under most conditions. It's got all the capability one would need in most situations, just not as crisp an image or with all the details of say, a generation III NV scope. It mounts on any weaver or mil-spec picatinny rail system and comes with a very good mount. Includes a daylight cover to use for daytime sight-in and general protection of the lens and a carry bag for when not mounted on a rifle.

So far fine. I have used it waterfowl hunting in damp foggy weather with no problem. Have not used it in a driving rain as of yet. Best light I have used yet. Red tint probably would be better but the green has been good. I would and will buy more of these.

I love it on my AR15. It's bright and sharp. I have no problem using it out to 400 yds. so using it on a .22 would be more than adequate for the range.

I don't think they would be bright enough. They would make great backup lights but not for rip roaring through rough terrain. I have mine pointed off at a 45 degree to the left & right for some light in the areas I want to turn my Ranger to & that is at slow speeds so they are fine for that.

you would need a different mount or a rail of some kind to mount it to your shotgun, but the light is sweet. I bought two and have both mounted on either side of my AR and 2000 lumens really lights up the kill zone.

I would suggest a wml by inforce for an ar but this would certainly suffice, I just prefer to use them as pistol lights.

I was surprised how bright it was, I use it on a small tractor, it's brighter than the headlights. Only thing would be if you're going to travel at a high rate of speed not sure it would throw a beam far enough but assuming you're not doing 50 mph at night down a dirt trail it should be fine. Plenty of light for tractor but I'm never doing more than 20mph

It is a great light It does have some long range viewing but if you dont aim it right you do get a hot spot. Overall i would buy this light no questions asked.

make sure you pull out the tab that separates the batteries from the metal. The ''pull tab'' is on most toys and appliances that DO include batteries. I bought this a long time ago and I use it for hunting. BTW- it is more of a ''Widespread'' than ''Beam'' or ''spotlight'' as most people say....but I use it to leave the shooting house, not shine on the deer because it would not put enough light on it. If you are looking for a really good hand held light that zooms in get one with a convex lens.

I do not have this on a shotgun. It seems study enough though. It is a good light and it is bright as hell. It is about a 1 inch body.

Why would you want to put this scope on that gun? That rifle is a long shooting rifle and the scope is only good to about 300 yards max and you can only varmint hunt at night and if your thinking about pigs then get a semi - auto AR platform.

The TLR-1 works well on most carbines, AR variants, AKs, and such. Although its larger in diameter than most dedicated rifle lights it can preform as light for a rifle, pistol, or shotgun. I would consider if your looking for a "do all" light that's in the $100 range.

Don't know of any night vision scopes to be compatible. Ther r several light attachments that work well. I have used a LED in green for hunting hogs at night and is good out to 75 yds.
