I'm planning on putting a laser and maybe a light on my Talon. I'm worried about needing to get a shot off at 3:00 AM, at something going after my chickens. The 44 Mag scope I have on it is great, but not so good by star light :-). I like the idea of a laser, but beam spread has me concerned. Anticipated range is 20 to 40 yards. I zero my scope at 30 yards, would probably set the laser the same, or should I? Which color is best, red or green? What other specs should I be looking for?
I'm also interested in a light, preferably compact and light weight but powerful. Suggestions?
I have one of the Gamo Varmint Hunter sets, but the light's a joke, and the whole thing mounts to the scope. I don't want to do that. Plus I don't care for the pressure activated switches, neither one works that well. Portland John posted on TOG about a light setup he's working on, looks like he's onto something cool, but the UK is just a bit out of range. Thanks in advance, people.
