I recently got a Foxpro Fury and started calling at night. I have only ever done it with a friends varmint spotlight which I did not like to much. I was wondering what would be the best varmint hunting spotlight out of the box that I could buy.

We just got one that mounts to a 1" scope has a battery box I think it was 69 bucks, it works great and last a very long time on the battery. The only thing we didnt like was the mount to scope was loose so it moved around, It mounts to a 30mm scope very well though, you can also take a 1" scope ring and mount it on the scope upside down and the light has a rail on the bottom that willmake it fit nice and snug.



You can't handle the truth!

lower candle power the better with a red lense, i use any brinkman put in a toggle switch and go 100,000-200,000 candle power. light fore are ok if you like spending a ton of money, like a darker red lense, and a tighter pattern. I will say the best thing about lightforce is they are definitely lighter, and they don't use as much juice.

Does the green laser light spook hogs? Have you used it in cold weather? I have heard they don't work well at 40 degrees or less. What is your experience?

Nope I haven't spooked anything with mine and when its lower than 25 degrees out side I black tape a handwarmer to it and pull a glove finger over it and it works like a champ

that magnalight HL-85 is a dang good light too. looks the same as a light force, but the colored lens is the actual lens, it doesn't clip on like the light force or the q-beams. It really reduces the back and side glare. I have a light force and the magnalight. It would be tough picking between the two.

muleyman -

do you "scan" with the green light or just use it for the shots?
