The kid hit the nail on the head. There is rarely room for multiple rifles on an alaskan hunt. You either carry them in or they take up space on your wheeler or boat. A small weapon light doesn�t take up more room in a pack but can be very handy in a bind. Dont� discount the power of the 375 RUM, chances are your only going to get one shot anyway but I can run a bolt gun plenty quick if motiveated. What do you think is going to hit harder, a 44 lever gun or a 375 RUM. 270gr @ 3000fps is a lot of whomp.

Remember I�ve actually used a light on the 375 RUM to shut down a brown bear charge. It worked, and was easy to stick the light on as I walked out in the dark.

When its dark and your crawling thru brush and one of these steps out, there really isn�t a gun big enough.

I'm convinced I need to do this with my 9.3X62.

What is the best light and best way to attach to the rail? Best being brightest and most rugged.


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

That Streamlight TRL-1 HL is a bright SOB.

I need to take a picture of the mount I posted above that attaches to the front swivel stud.

Thanks Scott, I'd appreciate it.

Here is the Blackhawk mount with the TRL-1HS.

It does point up somewhat, no problem in the least making a shot at zero dark thirty for a few hundred yards. Obviously different forends will be different concerning angle.

You can turn it around the other way so you can attach a sling, I wasn't worried about it since I don't use slings.
