    Scope mounting your Maxtoch torch

    After retiring my scope mounted HID spotlight for a Maxtoch hand held torch, I was in the search for a good solid mounting solution.
    We have a hunting and fishing close by, so popped down with my .22 and the torch to see what was available. I came away with a QD setup which seemed reasonable, but could have been a little higher. This build quality was average, and I ended up with marks on the scope as a result. I will need to get out the scope lapping bar on this if I was to use it again.

    About this time a cheapie chinese mount turned up in the post, and it ticked the box of being higher, and allowing the torch bell to clear the scope objective bell. It has coarse adjustments for windage and elevation which work well. Probably a more useful feature if you were using a zoomie torch with the tiny die shaped beam, as opposed to the larger beam from the Maxtoch. The build quality was no worse than the previous one, so it got a tickle up with the lapping bar before going on the scope.
    The downside to this setup is the torch is now a permanent feature, and cannot be uasily unclipped when using the rifle during the day.

    Interesting to see what everyone else is using, and how they find them.
