I think I just found me the perfect flashlight. Not too big, and not too small. And this Fenix TK75 is one bright flashlight that throws extremely well. I think it is my personal favorite. :z-winnersmiley:

No it's nota new shop. That's his email address. He sells on ebay mainly. but I buy directly from him to save the ebay fees amd get a better price. You won't find a better dealer than Shane. Most lights I buy get to my door in 3 days from him. And his prices are superb.
Here's what he sales on ebay.

WOW Looks good!!
Can I have a ruler, dollar bill or something by the light for reference to size?
Also, since your the flashlight wizard of OG, any recommendations for a clip on light to the hat brim?
I got one in a packet with the Browning name, it does well, but I know you would probably know the best bang for the buck.

This should help. I put a checkbook by it.

I have that Browning clip on light you are talking about. It does ok. There are other headlamps that are a lot brighter. But for turkey hunting that Browning LED clip on light is really all you need.
If your really wanting a good decent headlamp that will throw fairly well for the price, it's hard to beat this. I have 3 of them. I gave my son and my mom one.

Your welcome.
I'll tell you another winner for the price.
This in all honesty will be all the flashlight most would ever want.
Fenix TK41 XM-L U2
And it runs off of AA batteries.
Now I know that might be a little steep for some to spend on a flashlight. But if you know me well enough by now you will know I wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't everything I say it is. I have the older XM-L T6 version which isn't quite as bright. And I can honestly say it is one bad to the bone flashlight for throw, spill, and quality. It more than likely will last you a lifetime.

I would recommend these batteries vs alkalines or other cheaper made NIMH batteries that won't hold a charge over time.
