Rifle mounted green light?

I know this has been cussed and dicussed, what is your recomendation.

Elusive wildlife xlr 250

It's rated for around 250yds but it will light up much further. I will be getting a second one to use for scanning and leave this one on my rifle.

Kill Light , get the 250

I got one for my gun and I want an extra one to replace my hand held spotlight

The battery light if awesome

I have one on the way. If it's anything like what I keep hearing, it's gonna be awesome!

I use the VRL-1, comes with a red and green module, batteries, charger, mounts, pressure pad, white is available for $16 more. I haven't ranged it but it throws light well over 200 yards. Combined with my 5x night vision, it's unbelievable how far I can identify things at night.

You won't be disappointed and you can't have just one.

I would really like to test it side by side with the other brands offered just see if there is any difference in range or quality.

kill light is the only way to go......

sometimes mine starts blinking on/off

Give Wicked Lights a look. They have different packages available. Green, White, Red, all the different mounts, and they are very bright!

The XLR-250, Wicked Light 400, and Varmint Lights VRL-1 all perform about the same. They each come with different kits available. Currently, the best bang for the buck is probably the VRL-1. As stated above, the kit comes with 2 LED modules, a green and a red. I own all three lights, use all three, and am happy with all three.

One of them also offers a BLUE led but I cant seem to remeber which one. Can someone tell me the brand?

I have a head light light that has blue and red.
Blue light seems to work the best for me. Red doesnt light up much. Green works great but I want to test the blue next to the green.

Nevermind......I found it. It's the same brand I have.

Guys, thanks for the advise now just to order one.

Which one did you get?

I have this one in green. Works well

I am very interested to hear more about the XLR 250 mounted to a Scope.

I haven't killed with it yet but I've messed with it at the lease. I lit up the top if a ridge that us about 350yds from camp. It wasn't day light bright at that distance but still impressive. I did light up some cows at about 150 and you could have made a clean shot through the scope.
To my eyes, the green light really defines everything. It gives it shape, crisp shadows and depth.

For me the red isn't as good as the shadows and depth doesn't pop out like the green. My headlamp has red and blue. I can see fine with blue but not red.
I can't wait to try the blue XLR250

I like the ND-3 and have had very good luck with it.

If you are not hunting from a blind, mounted on top of scope is good.
If you are hunting from a blind, mount the light as far forward on the gun as you can.

With it mounted on top and hunting from a blind, there is too much light projected INSIDE the blind.
Or if you have tall windows or can stick the rifle far enough out to place the light outside the blind.
The light reflected inside the blind will also make it harder to see outside.

Mine seems to be clearer and I can see better with it mounted up there but I usually mount it forward on the rail as it's more compact and easier to turn on/off.
The pressure pads are cool but sometimes hard to work with gloves on so I just use the clicky switch on back of light when mounted forward.
It's also nice to turn it on and sweep the area without trying to keep pressure on the pressure pad.

Good info there.

So has it been decided which is the better buy? The XLR-250, Wicked Light 400, or Varmint Lights VRL-1?

I have the wicked light in green. Love to be able to dim the light. Cost the same as the XLR 250. Works great and better when no moon is present.

this. i have the hogzilla which is a great light too. my mount is the xlr250 though.

I run with a green Hogzilla and it's worked well for me.

Check out our lights at www.hogzillalights.com

Only takes 1-2 days to get your package if your in Texas and we offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you don't like your light.

PM me if you have any questions.

I ordered the xlr250, hope I am happy with it. I will use it this weekend and let ya know. I have a friend with the nd3? it worked well. My son has one similar to the xlr 250, but its max range is about 100 yrds. so I will compare em.

I've been running the ND3 for a while and have had good luck with it, but bought a couple of green hogzilla lights a few weeks ago, and really like those. For $50 each it's hard to go wrong.

Nd3 subzero. The focused beam eliminates peripheral shadows that spook hogs or other critters that will take off and blow the hogs out behind them

I got my XLR 250 today. I've taken it out by the creek behind the house and played with it a bit, and I can say I am favorably impressed. Still trying to figure out just exactly how I want to mount it though.

I took the xlr250 out and I am happy with it. no kills or fancy story's but the light is bright.

I have the ND3 mounted on a Marlin in 35 REM with a leupold 2-7 , dang nice. Kinda crowded as not much extra room on that small body scope for extra gear, but it works. Also have the XLR 250 hand held, wicked unit !
It's been suggested that Santa bring me another XLR 250 for my AR. They are top notch!

TBone

Never owned ND3 but the xlr 250 is a very good setup.

the nd3 works very well

they all work pretty good, it gets into money spent vs. what u r needing specificly.....the ones that have the pressure switch u can put on the front of the gun are very handy.

Chech out Wildcat-Hunting Products on facebook. They have one it is the CAT 250 comes with 2 batt, charger for home or car, and mount for $75. They are located in Detroit, Tx.By the way I am not associated with them in any way other than owning some of their products. Comes in Green, Red, or White.

I went on lightmalls.com and bought 2 of the hs-802 which is the xlr250, 4 18650 batteries, 4 battery charger, 4 extra colored emitters, 2 pressure switches 2 scope mounts, 2 barrell mounts and freight for $171.98. Got them in 3 days from the supplier in Hong Kong.
