Title: Shotgun Lights
Post by: havershap on February 01, 2024, 07:32:06 AM

I am considering mounting a light on my over/under in order to deal with some nuisance coyotes on my property.  I only need about 75 yards range and, since this is a short term deal, I don't want to spend any more money than necessary.  Any thoughts, ideas, recommendations?

Just tape a flashlight onto it.

My night 12 has a slim Defiant light on it. Mounted left side and has the rear push button. Homemade mount. Muy quick, balanced and lights farther than the gun will shoot.

"I only need about 75 yards range", thats one hell of a shotgun you have there.

That's not super impressive for buckshot. Especially if they arent running an 18in barrel with an open cylinder.

Running a Sniper Hog Light 38 under the 12 gauge barrel for following up stuff in the dark.  Been super effective for my uses.

This is the way.

If it's not a gun that you want to keep pristine, a 5w torch affixed to the side will give enough eye shine to help identity a target.
