1. While being relatively compact and being powered by only one battery, the output is 2500 lumen, and that’s a lot.

2. Build in charger, standard micro-usb socket.

3. A nice present package, a high quality USB adapter with respectable 2A output.

Premium Packing – It feels like you are about to open it up to find a very nice product.

Pros :

Excellent fit and finish.  Very good quality feel to the entire package and product.

The flashlight resembles the Baton series a lot – it is just much larger. I thing the size is optimal to hold in the hand – not too tiny, not too big.

massive silicone cover which feels like it will keep the water out.  I would prefer to see a magnetic charger port but this is good.  Magnetic charging port is great, this is good.  There is a good feeling of the cover setting into place which is nice.  Better than most charging port covers.

The socket is being lit with red light while charging, and green while the charging is complete. You can also use it while the flashlight is on

Large Olight 26550 battery which is larger and offers better performance than my personal favorite battery type, the 18650

When it comes to the beam, there are no artifacts.  Nice throwing power and flooding.

Glow in the dark o ring near the deflector. 

There is a low light indictor which turns red to warn you of low power. 

Convenient to charge in your car. 

Blue bezel looks very nice.

Feels good in the hand.  Good texture.  Doesn’t sleep.

Can use the light and charge it at the same time

Cons :

The battery is a proprietary Olight 26550 battery so you will not be able to go out and purchase one of these from many sources. 

You can use other 26650 batteries but you will not be able to recharge them and from what I have heard they will not be able to power the flashlight on turbo mode.  Luckily additional batteries can be purchased for $17 each. 

While I like the side switch it is easy to turn this one while in your pocket.  Luckily you can lock the flashlight to prevent accidental activation.

step down after 2 minutes to 800 lumens

Naturally it gets warm when running on high.

It is a roller.

No pocket clip

Propper Rifle Case 36" - Review

Today Luke is reviewing the Propper Rifle Case 36".

…
Link :  https://www.propper.com/bags/gun-cases/proppertm-36-rifle-case.html

Price : $70 on the Propper web site and Amazon

Colors : Black Coyote Olive

Soft gun case

Protect your rifle with the long, padded Rifle Case. MOLLE webbing on the outside offers room for extra storage and accessories, and the large pouch can carry ear and eye protection or ammo.

·              MOLLE compatible webbing for customization

·              Padded on all sides for increased protection

·              Locking zippers

·              Dual exterior pockets sized to fit an 8x12 Pistol Case

·              Dual zippers can accommodate a lock

·              Internal retention system to secure single rifle or shotgun

·              Padded adjustable shoulder strap

·              12.5" H x 36" W x 4" D

·              slotted flap      

Propper also offers a 44" model for $89.99.

The case is fully padded and held up very well during abuse at the range with no concerns for contents during transport, including optics. Another feature that I found useful was the internal retention system - slotted corners and Velcro straps. The lighter contrasting color of the interior was also useful in low light and just in general for finding items that often make their way into an end user's rifle case. I found this to be an excellent case and would highly recommend it.

The lighter colored fabrics allow for putting up and getting out the gun in low light situations
