Gibo/MSL - for that range get a 2X.

M1 Archer might stretch 200+ with bigger animals, but not best as a terrain scanner. 2X alot more light on target and designed as an all purpose spottie. BIG difference. If you want even more of a long range light then XPro. I use 2X for everything, but I will add M1 Archer as scope light.

With torches - lumens measurement means the total amount of light out front. Lux or candela measures the intensity of the torch's beamspot from which you can calculate distance. Comparison:

M1 Archer 140,000 lux
2X 365,000 lux
XPro 440,000 lux

M1 Archer good - amazing for a wee light. Depends what you're used to - if you've been using eg Led Lensers or many halogen spotlights, the Archer will be stunning. But not comparable down range with its bigger brothers.
