Need a budget-ish weaponlight for rifle

Featured Replies

anyone have any recommendations  for a decent but budget wml for a rifle? i for one reason or another keep getting derailed on getting a quality light (2kids will do that to ya), so i want to get something on there for the meantime. and yes i know buy once cry once, but i cant do 100+ on a light right now.

surefire g2..got for under $60..another option is the Coast LED lights..can getin home depot..carried one for work for 10 years..no problem except battery changes

STREAMLIGHT STREAMLIGHT STREAMLIGHT! type 1 or 2 rail mount or any tlr series will be half the price of surefire with the same quality

I had a streamlight stinger get left wedged into the frame of a landcruiser. about 4 months and 4k miles later vehicle returned, light was still there, swapped battery packs and it still works to this day. that light was thrown a few times in frustration, run over by a car, and abused in countless ways. I had replaced it with another in the meantime and both are still kicking

 

i also edc a microstream, which replaced the stylus that i lost somewhere along the way

 

my current thought is a polytac for the price, but i wanted to see what else anyone through out there

I run Olight lights on my AR and shotgun.  The lights have held up to plenty of .223, as well as plenty of 12ga - from light target loads through 3 1/2" magnums.  My light mounts have fared worse than the lights themselves.  I need to replace those mounts I have one of these days...

 

I've also EDC'd multiple different Olights over the years and I have been extremely happy with all of them.

 

I believe I have two M21, an M20, T20, M10, S10, and I3.  I've also given out a few other Olights as gifts and they are all still working well.  Look into an M20/21/22/23 (especially the warrior models), should be plenty powerful enough and still be within your price range.  Some may have mounting kits included - but not all do.

 

 

Other option is a Streamlight TLR-1 - I've got a TLR-1S and again am happy with it, though I only recently got this one. 

What distance do you want it to reach out too?  

Do you want to have a remote switch capability for it?

i run my lights on the left withinin extension range of my support thumb when on the handguard, even tho i magwell grip alot, kindof a kiss aproach no wires/remotes/holdersforremote/etc

I have a Streamlight tlr1-HL on my AR and really like it so far. Much better than the WMLX that I had.

Just picked up my second   Nitcore P30   I like the compactness of it with still a decent throw.  It uses 1-18650 or if you prefer 2- CR123 .

 

They can be had at several locations for around $65.  I got mine from Battery Junction when they were having an additional 25% off sale, but usually Amazon has the best bundles.

Also like that the tail clicker is on/off or 1/2 press for momentary.  No cycling through the different levels of brightness and it returns to the level it was at when you turned if off.

 

It's a 1 inch diameter barrel so it fits a good number of mounts.

How long? And no problem?

Coming up buck twenty on Amazon. Better source$$$?

If it is ok with the OP what's a good pic rail setup for an hd 870?

I fell it's germane, plus I need one.

I bought a couple probably 2-3 years ago off ebay. i think i paid just under $100 each 

GG you mod stuff. Shoot me a pic rail rail for my hd shotty. I'm thinking barrel and tube clamp
