Best light for long range shooting

[Simomacca]

Hi all. This is my first post on this forum. I am seeking advice on which light would be my best option for long range shooting at night( out to 300 meters ). I want the most powerful beam I can get out to that range with a little bit of spill light. I have done a bit of searching and have come up with a couple of possibles. I am keen on a wolf eyes seal or a maelstrom (can't remember the model) I have a budget of around that $250 mark and light has to be scope mountable and have a run time on max power of around an hour . Any recommendation would be appreciated thanks

A good alternative would be the Streamlight Super Tac or Super Tac X. Find each for $70 or less.

thrunite TN31 XM-L2 or TN30 XM-L2 suit you,

Just checked them out. The tn31 looks like a great light, thanks for the suggestion

'IF' you are willing to stretch your $250 limit to $300 the Thrunite TN31mb is a special modified TN31 with EXTREME throw! Much less spill than TN31 XM-L2 but much more throw

For long range night shooting, what you really want is a high powered aspherical flashlight. Deerelight Night Master is one. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?138-OMG-Lumens-OneStopThrowShop has upgraded versions.

What I like is an aspherical with a red emitter. That way, you preserve you night vision while still throwing a focused beam (square) hundreds of yards down field. What I don't light about the large reflector lights is that they throw a wide pattern of light that reflects back off trees, etc and it is difficult to really see the critters.

Check out the black bullet built by a member on here. It's similar to the DEFT but built for cheaper.

Check out the Dereelight Night Master and Xsearcher lights for rifle mounting. Long range spot throwers. Get a floodier light to use in your hand as a spotter / scouting light.

I have the TN31 and it performs very well. I like the rotating mode selector as well. As far as I know there is not a mount available for it but you could easily fabricate one.
