    I've just gone and bought a lightforce scope mounted lamp.
    I already have the hand held one and its a great bit of kit but i was wondering if i will get any glare in my scope from it.

    If you have a front iron sight or moderator then it's a possibility. There are fixes for both. Otherwise no, just don't have tall grass or small bushes etc right in front of your scope.

    How did you sort out the Glare issue?
    Or are you still using Wavin pipe ;)

    The main problem I found with the scope mounted LF lamps was they got knocked to one side whan put one the back seat of the car. So every time a fox was spoted and the rifle taken out to take the shot the beam was way off and had to be re-alined to see the fox through the scope. A big piss off when your out shooting.

    So we went back to the hand helds for scaning the fields and a torch on the scope for the shot. The torch never moves and is always on the target.

    Tape across the bottom of the sunshade, narrowed up the hole and stopped the reflected light getting into the scope.
