Sightmark® 280 Lumens Tactical Light Review

Sightmark® 280 Lumens Tactical Light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this light to mount on the rail of my AR-15, and it has turned out to be an excellent choice. It's not too heavy, and not super large overall.The offset weapon mount works very well and attaches easily to any Picatinny/Weaver system using a hex key. There is a pressure activated switch on the tail of the light, so a soft push lights momentarily, while a firm push in till it "clicks" gives you a steady "on". Also included is a remote pressure switch that replaces the normal tailcap in case you ever want to set up a switch on a weapon foregrip. The light is extremely bright, and would blind pretty much anyone who got caught in its beam in the early hours of the morning. The light is also very durable, as I have dropped it at least twice (once on concrete)and have put approx. 200 rounds through my weapon with it mounted on it. Anyway, if you're looking for a good weapon light and really don't want to break the bank, give this one a try.

Nikon Prostaff 4x32mm RimFire Classic Scope Review

Nikon Prostaff 4x32mm RimFire Classic Scope

I've been running the 4x Nikon Prostaff on my Ruger 10/22 for a couple of months now and I am very happy with it.I have mine in matte black, and I think the finish looks good (I'd suggest the matte over the silver, I have read other reviews that indicate the silver finish wears off, though I do not have first hand experience w/ the silver finish ... regardless, the matte black looks better anyway).

Quite simply, the 4x prostaff is everything a rimfire scope should be - compact, light, reliable.Optics are very good to my eye, but to be fair I don't run any $1000+ Leupold's or anything on any of my rifles.To my unprofessional eye, the optical quality is excellent.I also find the eye relief to be satisfactory, and I typically have problems with eye relief on certain scopes.

I think 4x is a good magnification for a rimfire scope.One of my shooting buddies insists 4x isn't enough magnification (and he looks like a real winner lugging around his little 10/22 rifle with a MASSIVE centerfire scope mounted to it ... what can I say some people get it and others don't), but I think given the range limitations of the .22lr cartridge plus the philosophy of use of a 10/22 carbine (small, compact carbine used for varmint hunting and/or to improve your shooting skills w/ low cost ammo) 4x is the optimal magnification.An amateur could easily pick off a squirrel sized target at 50 yards, and a decent shooter would have no problems at 100 yards.I frequently shoot golf balls or ping pong balls at 100yds with this scope, and I've brought first time shooters to the range and had them hitting the same within a matter of minutes.Ergo, I think 4x magnification is plenty, as once you get much past 100yds the .22lr will start dropping fairly quickly.

Zeroing this scope proved to be a simple operation, and over the several months with 1,000+ rds through it, plus lugging it around (sometimes not in a case and not too carefully), it has held its zero perfectly. (note in my edit below, the loss of zero was due to how the scope was mounted, nothing to do with the Nikon scope).

In short, if you can afford to spend a little over $100 for a rimfire scope, the Nikon Prostaff 4x is an excellent choice.Edit: I did have problems with how this scope was mounted on the included rings on my stock 10/22 accessory rail (scope kept creeping forward).I think this had more to do with the cheap plastic rail that came with my 10/22 than with the Nikon rings, they just couldn't get a good enough grip on the plastic to stay planted.I upgraded to a Leopold fixed scope mount ("Leupold 1-Piece Standard Scope Base Ruger 10/22") and Leopold 1" rings, which have given me better luck.
