Mmmm... just thinking - I won't sell Maxtoch through this thread now but let's change thread character a bit and make it about using Maxtochs and other gear - few stories and pics for the lights and other good stuff.
Here's a tale - mate and I walking an area at night with the 22s and some pre-Maxtoch lights. Both picked up a bunny in the lights at about 60 meters - put two lights on him. Next thing he starts running straight towards us - as they often do. Mate - who's usually very good - takes a shot and misses. Bunny keeps running up to us. Next thing he's like 10 meters away - completely bamboozled by the lights - and mate's trying to shoot him one handed - rifle in one hand torch in the other because he can't see anything thru scope - its too close. He misses. Rabbit keeps coming. Mate takes final shot at about 2m trying to point rifle down at bunny, but he keeps coming. Then bunny stops at mate's feet and sits there! Mate reaches down and just picks him up!! So we have a talk with him - tell him he's the luckiest bunny on the planet, wish him well, ask him to bring his relatives next time, and with much laughter let him go. He trots off! Only catch and release we ever did!
