Educate me on lights

I figured I would add one more low cost option that has been quite reliable for more than 10 yrs.

Get a basic Surefire tactical light (Surefire G2X Tactical - 300 lumen) and mount it on the rifle foreend using a picatinny rail and 1" weaver scope ring with thumb screws.

Total Cost $56 = $50 Flashlight + $6 Weaver Ring

Use fingers to install for quick removal or use a coin/screw driver for more secure install.

My HD rifle has a Surefire M300B Scout that is awesome, but I keep 2 of the above setups to go between my other rifles if I want a weapon light.

I should add, using the simple configuration above, I had 3 Stream Lights fail about 5 years ago when I started replacing my incandescent Surefires. I really like Stream Lights but their basic tactical flashlight didn't seem to handle the recoil well.

I really do love the convenience of modern LED lights. I just retired my last incandescent Surefire; Standard Bulb 60 lumens, Special High Intensity Xenon ~90 lumens and 15 MINUTES runtime on 2 C123 batteries. Will not miss replacing batteries all the time.

I got the newer inforce with the switch so the button is momentary only. I like it so far, but haven't got to run with it yet.
