I do....it works great. Depending on your glass you can make shots to 300 yrds. I have the green light and if you start high and bring it down on them it doesn't spook them at all.

They are perfect for hunting, I own and sell them here. You can see pass 100 yards with a good scope and with better scope u can see 200 yards and more. You won't be disappointed

I have one and am fairly happy with it. I don't know about 300 yards but 200 is doable. I used mine tonight with a Nightforce 5.5-22x and could see well enough to take a clean shot to about 230 yards. I could make out our cows at 300-ish but would not be comfortable taking a shot on a pig with the visibility I had at that distance.

......another option with, IMHO, better mounts included: http://www.varmintlights.com/vrl-1-ultimate-package/

I own both the XLR-250 and the VRL-1.

I have one and love it. 200 yards no problem with the green and an easy 150 yards with the red.

Go for it!

It is great, you may want to buy a kill light to put under a feeder they both are great.

Nobody is going to fess up and admit that a gun mounted light is going to spook some hogs. From my experience a gun mounted light will spook hogs about 50% of the time. Feeder lights dont seem to spook hogs at all (no practical way to control for the ones the refuse to show up). I would have to guess the hogs see the feeder light and the gun mounted light but the differences would be hog perceived motion from the hunter moving the gun and a light shining right into their eyes vs. a stationary overhead light on the feeder. Feeder light is WAY more effective, use two or more for longer ranges.

for light mounts, you just need a 1" ring...can even use scope rings on them. If you order from lightmalls, you'll need batteries and charger and the mount. If you want the barrel mount, i've seen them on amazon and ebay.

I use a gun light and feeder light. best of both worlds!

The pig in the picture I posted burst out the area when we hit him with the light.

We left the light on the feeder and about 15 minutes later he adjusted to the light and came out to eat again. Big mistake.

Works great. I use my on the gun, the same way I do on my bow. I point the light to the sky, turn it on, and slowly bring it down on the target. Doesn't seem to spook the hogs or varmints.

GR-I would hope you had one of your own lights? You bought it?? Maybe your board name confused me?

I would recommend the three mode light. Then you will have all ranges covered. I have one and it did spook the hogs at close range, until I changed to the three mode and now no problem spooking the hogs.
