Need more info? Is lightweight your only requirement? Intended use? Budget? Want to run a pressure pad?

I'd throw an X300 on a cantilever magpul mount. Simple relatively lightweight and robust. I don't use the TLR series of Streamlights any longer as I've broken 2, and the X300 light activation switch is superior.
I'm giving the new Streamlight railmount 2 or whatever it's called a try on a 1301 but I'm not ready to call it reliable yet and it's only a sample size of one. All that said don't overthink it Surefire X300, or one of the 3/6 series white light scout lights on a reliable mount and call it good. HD/WROL purpose built or bought rifles aren't the place to experiment with boutique brands. |

Surefire X300 Ultra mounted in front of your front BUIS. May seem a bit weird at first, but once you use it, you'll never go back. having the light between the sights and barrel is winners.

Anybody have this Elzetta mount? https://www.elzetta.com/product/zfh1500/ I have the OD green Elzetta mount on my Colt 6920. I picked it up on Ebay in like new condition for a good price. My wife asked what i wanted for Christmas and i told her an Elzetta tape switch. So we'll have to see if there enough clearance in between the mount and the MOE hand guard. |

I've used numerous setups from Surefire over the last 25 years and I'm starting to really like a simple X300U mounted at 12 o'clock in front of the front sight.

Would you guys recommend getting the thumb screw version of the Elzetta mount?
