fit and finish on the light is top notch. and I haven't gotten any beamshots yet but it puts out an insane amount of light it throws about 250+yards... I need to go uphill then shine down to see how far it'll throw but even at that distance you could clearly see what's going on. The only downside is that it's so bright when you turn it off you have floaty things buzzing around your eyeballs as you try and get your night vision back. The beam itself isn't as cool white as other lights I've seen which is a good thing as some lights are just toooo pale and almost blueish. The Surefire FM65 filter fits it perfectly making it easy to sneak up on game, and also keep the front glass protected. The rear pressure switch setup is everything you'd need. You can either use the pressure pad to hold the light on or reach over with your thumb and push the constant on tail switch, and cycle through the brightness levels to med or low for walking long distances without being seen for miles and running down your batteries.
haven't gotten any 18650 batteries on hand but with cr123a's i have duracel, panasonic and battery station branded batts. The duracel are alot brighter than the others and out of the 3 brands the panasonics are dimmest....all new and they all have 8+ years left on expiration dates.
