    What's your take on them,
    Have you used it much since getting it.

    I just happen to see one over the weekend and look the same as a Led Lenser or Tracer Ledray. Did not like the spot on them and would not think the would be as good as the Led Lenser. The come with one re-charge battery and and I have never seen a charger to suit them.

    Found them on ebay for around £45 - £55. that wouldn't be a bad price if they were up to the job
    Thanks.

    Does anyone know if there is a difference between manufacturers or countries when it comes to "Lumens". The reason I asked is I often come accross torches which claim to be of a certain power yet one with less than half the power is far brighter? I was looking at a cree torch yesterday which claims to be 4500 Lumens with a beam over 1km long and for only $120. I have used the Led Lenser x21r which is 1600 Lumens and we could easily make out targets over 500 yards with it. but as a bit of a gadget freak id really be interested in that cree torch both for the power and the price.

    Paper never refused Ink Moby.
    I'd be impressed with Led Lenser doing as advertised, but often these Chinese Via Ebay USA stuff turns out to be crud.

    You can't go wrong for 25 euros for something that powerful. Best of luck with it.

    its fixed to the stock with rings from an old scope 30mm i think, the body of the torch is exactly 30mm and then screwed a small flat piece of metal like a dovetail to the stock so the torch can be removed with removing two allen keys
    prob not the job but it works and when shooting off hand standing up in field i can get into position then switch on the torch with my thumb without moving from my firing stance as the on button is on the end of the torch
