    I have a range of torches (including a couple of Maxitorches) but have now changed over to the Nitecore P30.

    Its as good as the Maxitorch in real world hunting but much smaller and lighter. Will illuminate rabbits and possums further out than you can shoot them off hand, has a single push on/off button on the back, and the power change button on the front of the light. Therefore you can set the power output on the front button, and then use the on/off. It has a turbo output, but this requires the Nitecore special battery. Not worth it in my opinion.

    I use the Nitecore mount https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NITE...575a4c4d6U8YCu and the Nitecore battery storage https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...575a4c4d6U8YCu

    I personally prefer the torch mounted under barrel rather than on the scope. I mount a small section of rail onto the fore end of the stock. If necessary, I router a flat section on the fore end parallel with the barrel so that the centre of the spot is dead centre with the scope sight picture. You can also used one of the clamp on barrel rail thingys.
    I use a LED head lamp with the 4x 18650 battery packs for spotting and then the Nitecore on the gun for shooting. Keeps your hand free for gun control (the way its supposed to be)
