OK...I have been reading posting after posting and am just getting more and more confused!
I had originally looked at the BSA Laser Genetics ND3 light at local gun shop...LOVED IT! Then read about cold weather issues and since I live in SD...that is an issue. Subzero version of ND3 are quite spendy.
That's when I found out about the Elusive Wildlife XLR250 Kill Lights for 1/2 the money! Seemed liek a good deal...UNTIL I realized that the XLR250 doesn't have a "focusable" beam liek the ND3!?
2nd problem / concern...I will be using almost exclusively for nightime coyote hunting (no hogs etc.). So...what is the concensus on red light vs. green!? I know it's like pickups & beer...everyone has their favs...but I don't want to buy green if red is "better" for yotes etc.
3rd...is the "wash-out" of the XLR an issue since beam cannot be focused down to "dot" like the ND3!? Or, is it ok for 100yd and under yote shots!?
Lastly...is there a cheaper "homemade" option. I read a couple posts about LED flashlights from WalMart with red gel sheets cut to cover lens and getting virtually the same effect for $25!
Just liek everyone else...I am looking for a GOOD yet CHEAPEST solution possbile! Thanks for reading.
