I would have owned a Coyote light over a year ago, except for one drawback(for me, that is).... the way it mounts to a firearm. I handled one at the outdoor show in Harrisburg last year, and it is indeed a beautifully machined and well engineered product. BUT, at the price point of the light and the otherwise overall quality, I would think there would be more mounting options than the picatinny rail screwed to the bottom of the light.
I would prefer NOT to mount my light to my scope, if possible. After having spent the better part of 2K for a super accurate AR's with rails strategically placed for attachment of a hunting light, I would much prefer NOT to use a picatinny to picatinny adapter that has to be screwed/unscrewed every time the light is mounted/ and detatched from the firearm. On my bolt guns I use the TNVC picatinny mount on my scopes, so I'm always attaching to a picatinny rail....
It would be nice to have the option of an adapter on the light to be able to use a LaRue/American Defense type QD lever system to mount/ detatch the Coyote light from the rifle rather than fiddling around in the dark on a bitter cold night with an allen wrench or screwdriver!
I have a fair amount of experience with CNC machines, and it really wouldn't be that expensive to offer an option with the light in lieu of the picatinny rail, to be able to attach it to a cam lock lever mount. Just like the option of red or green......
I brought up this idea to Brett last year at the booth at the show, evidently it didn't go very far....
