I've been using an X300 on my rifle, and wanted an upgrade. I found a surefire scout on the EE for a good price, but it seems really dim compared to the x300.
The body says surefire scout light, A88188. The head says KX2C. I'd like a decent amount of brightness as I plan to take a few low light courses with this set up. Any recommendations that don't cost as much as a new light? |

That head is olddd and as such, has quite a bit less output than newer stuff.
What’s your budget? There are a lot of options out there, but “less than a new light” isn’t very descriptive. |

The price is more just determining if I get it in 2 weeks or next month. There's just a lot of options I'm seeing and I don't really know the differences

I dont know much about the surefire turbo series of rifle lights, but im sure they're solid too. Again, budget is the determining factor here. |

Are any of the cloud defensive or modlite heads compatible with the scout? So, I can just look and grab something in my budget, or are certain heads only for certain lights?

If you have a standard CR123 Scout body (NOT Dual Fuel), Modlite Legacy heads will work. Most Arisaka/Malkoff heads will as well. Both are high quality heads with very good output. |
