Hi Everyone,
Pretty new here and soaking up the information as fast as I can. I was hoping I could get the collective wisdom here for a light recommendation. I plan to start going on night hunts for hogs and such, and looking at a weapon light.
Here are kind of my parameters: 1. Range out to about 100-130 yards. 2. Fairly bright after adding filter (red or green). 3. Mounting system for both my bolt action and AR rifles 4. Regular switch and pressure switch through tail cap. 5. Cost for everything in the $100 range
Can you guys give me your recommendations? Thanks in advance

Sniper Hawg Lights are great. I use one and will be adding another shortly.

Wicked lights for sure, I just won one on the THF giveaway and it's phenomenal. I had a laser genetics nd3 and the wicked is a million times better.

A real hunter never returns empty handed. Spending time in the wilderness temporarily satifies the soul, but leaves us longing for more.

I should do a free light giveaway! All in?? I'm in, because I'm stuck in deciding between your light and the wicked light. Other than the one review, I can't find much info or feedback about your light.....I can't decide which one....

I bought a Sniper Hawg light 66LR , I used it for the first time last and I must say it is a awesome light. I was able to shoot 400 yards with no problem and could see thru my scope just like it was day time.

The Wicked light have a greater range and the light doesn't have a dead zone(darker spot in the middle) and seem to be hazy. Both my XLR-250 and VRL-1 had the same issue. I've got two Wicked W400's(red/green) and they are both superior to the other lights.

So where does the ND3 rank with all of these? I just sold mine that I won in a raffle because I was thoroughly unimpressed with it. If there are better gun mounted lights out there for (hopefully) less money I would consider trying them again
