    LED Lenser M14 I think. I see they have a new one about the same size for around $350. It would have to be bloody amazing for that much dosh. I use a hand held spotlight for finding the bunnies then switch to the scope mount when shooting. Works well when I'm on my own in the orchards and vineyards I shoot in. When out on the farm it's all hand held spotting as someone else shoots the pesky varmints.

    Nice one Perazzi,only one Aussie for me today. Using solid target .22 ammo that was given to me. Takes a wee while for a maggie to work out that a hole has gone straight through them before they hit the deck.

    Tested the Hornady 68bthp from the 223 on a couple of wobblies - hardly any came out to play (spoilsports!) but it produced a decisive bang-flop effect at 135 and 305 on the ones that did cooperate. Happy with the results, hit hard and didn't pencil through like the 69smk.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
