Evening to all!
As the title suggests, looking to add a flashlight to my 22 levergun for nighttime visitors to my chicken coops.
Anyone know of any that might work? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Tom

No scope I’m assuming?

That could be a tuff one! I’d suggest trying to hold a smaller bright led flashlight in your hand while grasping the forearm of the stock and try practicing this at night and shooting maybe an aluminum can or something similar in size. See if you can get by like that? Otherwise, I’d be buying something a little more user friendly for this exact situation. I have an old Marlin semi auto .22 with low power scope and light mounted above scope … off of the scope. It’s perfect for nighttime predators around the house or outbuildings at night. I’ve popped several coons over the years while they’re trying to drag one of my hens off.

Tape one in the space between the mag tube and barrel. Use a wedge of some sort to align the beam with the sights.

Amazon has some clamps that should work, but you might need to use a filler for a good fit. Search “flashlight clamp”.


What fresh Hell is this?

I'd try something like this...
https://www.amazon.com/FSI-Barrel-M...e9f0f22b&pd_rd_i=B0D2ZBLX33&th=1

and top it with a laser/light combo, and forget the stupid peeper.....
https://www.olightstore.com/baldr-pro

something like this -V- beats a peeper, too....

combined with the light/laser, it gives a guy lots of options that absolutely trash a fugging peeper at night (or ANY other time).....

all together, its a nighttime 'problem' solver, whether rimfire or shotgun...

Skinner says coming out with something for a 22 Lever.

https://skinnersights.com/products/lever-light-mount?variant=40642995191881

Hill People.Gear has something but even with shims I am not sure it will clamp to a tube that small.

Do you have a sling stud on the lever gun by chance?

Spendy but looks nice.

Still looking as I seem to remember something out there cheaper/more basic.

Rubber bands and a piece of shim so as to align the beam with the point of aim.
