I have it on good authority that my wife will be buying a "tactical" flashlight of some type (hopefully a genuine Surefire but I doubt it) for me as a Christmas gift. I want to mount it to the magazine tube of my Remington 870. I get frequent night time visits to the hen house from the local coyote population out here in the sticks where I live. Typically, the dog will tip me off to their presence, but since he can see in the dark as where I cannot, I have to use a flashlight. Trying to manipulate a 3 D cell Maglight and a shotgun at the same time is challenging. Hence my desire to mount a bright flashlight to the gun.

I'm wondering if anybody here who is more familiar with "tactical" stuff like this can give me a reccomendation of what type of mount to buy. The flashlight will be 1" diameter and I want to mount it to the magazine tube rather than the forearm if possible.

Thanks in advance.
