best tactical light for an AR-15?

I'm finishing up my AR-15 build and looking for a good light to add to a picatinny rail or to the FAB Tactical Vertical foregrip T-grip I like a lot too which fits any 1" flashlight with a push button on/off switch. The problem is I find some sweet bright lights but the run time is like 1 hour. I have a nice bright LED light I keep in my car that's been running on the same batteries for MANY hours. So whats a good light with a decent run time? No Surefires .. so far I find they're overpriced and the bulbs seem to flood out at even short distances.

    I have a M-6 and a TLR-2. I like the TLR-2 the best. I highly recommend it. I keep the TLR-2 on the carbine in my cruiser and the M-6 on my Pistol. Someday I'll get a TLR-2 for my pistol, but the lasers are zeroed.

    I have an E2D on my belt.

    I'm really happy with my Streamlight Scorpion, cheap($35 if i remember correctly), VERY powerful light, lightweight, mine is mounted on my Bushmaster, and I only use momentary on, so battery consumption isn't bad, I haven't had to change the batteries yet, and I've had it for 3-4 months, lifetime warranty too, I got mine from Natchez Shooters Supply, really happy with their service and quick delivery too.

    My suggestion is you recognize loss of weight= loss of top of the variety and save discovering some extra. What you suggested is like asserting you like the excellent and quickest racecar ever, yet you're beginning with a pinto chassis and engine and then parting it out with camry areas. New Frontier isn't a shown, nor examined call. Then took a receiver engineered for 7075 Aluminum and make a similar element out of plastic. it particularly is doomed to fail. A magpul foregrip isn't the lightest, nor stunning. Magpul makes large stuff and your determination of the CTR inventory is a sturdy one. The make a advantageous foregrip. besides the fact that it particularly is returned not the excellent high quality or lightest. The lightest is the usual A2, the excellent high quality is a monolithic top from VLTOR. the excellent blend of lightness and high quality could be a unfastened floating carbon fiber forend. some human beings cause them to. DD barrels are advantageous. very advantageous. yet not the excellent. they don't grant staggering accuracy, they grant stable accuracy and sturdiness from a hammer stable barrel. the excellent could be a Krieger. The lightest possibly a Noveske pencil profile. Noveske additionally makes nicer barrels than DD, as does Lilja, Rock creek, Shilen, Hart, Rainier, Wilson attempt against, CLE, Douglas and Lothar Walther, just to call some. it isn't the barrel that has the front sight. that's the gas block. and you're returned going with neither the lightest or the excellent. the excellent and lightest could be an adjustable low profile gas block, from one in each and every of roughly 5 manufacturers that sells them. A NiB bolt service team is likewise, not the lightest or the excellent, nor overly examined. advantageous? of direction. yet not the excellent. which would be JP rifles, who make the lightest BCG and that they sell the excellent bolt additionally. the excellent top receiver is any stable 7075 receiver. in spite of type, all of them pop out of basically some shops. Forging is stronger ounce for ounce than the different technique. in case you like to be sure of the excellent and lightest, get a Mega palms paired top and decrease. you in addition to mght prefer to look into distinctive muzzle innovations. The A2 chicken cage is one in each and every of the lightest, besides the fact that it is not the excellent. check out the area under, they checklist what's almost the excellent or lightest of maximum areas for an AR-15. it is not as much as date sufficient and lacking a pair issues, besides the fact that it would desire to coach you some manufacturers you have not heard of.
