@Odoyle post one. what did you call me?!?!
@JimNM I think I mentioned how even simple things can be a stumbling block of epic proportions... and you just proved how hard a time I can have overcoming even simple problems. So simple and it just never occurred to me to mount the dang light to the scope rings. Simple. Elegant. Easy. Thanks so much for your suggestion I will do a mock up, look things over for simplicity, scalability, and convenience and see what that option will allow me.
@Odoyle post two. Oh! That! Got it! Cantilever I understand now. Yeah I like this idea now that you were smart enough to think of it for me it really is an appealing option. I think I may have mentioned about how easily the obvious escapes me in the original post. Here's the thing; before I jumped on here to get some feedback from you all I, of course, did some pretty extensive searching on Amazon and... I'm ashamed to admit this but when I would search for my original search terms it would put up some of those cantilever mounts and rings and I happened to read it out loud, cantilever mount, just as my wife and her niece were comin' in the back through the mudroom. My wife come in the den with a potholder in one hand a spatula in the other swinging to take my head off and our niece was in a heap o' tears in the pantry off the kitchen. Turns out when I said that the niece and nephew had been to fightin' and as she and ma come through the door from a distance they mistook me to be asking "can't he leave'r the house," thinkin' I was on the phone with his ma. Good thing my Uncle Scrappy is the Sheriff or this might have gotten real confusing. So I stopped lookin' at those mounts as an option because just sayin' em out loud plum near cost me my head and a 'spensive divorce. but i thank you for your suggestion and I will do a mock up and see how that tac-lite sticks out and shines.
@biohazardman it's my understanding that there are some websites that a fella can add punctuation and what all to refine the results so as to git as close to exactly what your lookin' for as possible. you can also use the microphone button on your phone to speak the stuff for it to search for. i stopped using punctuation in my searches because those websites with those weird northern accents don't seem to understand too well those of us who talk right.
Thank you fellers for your suggestions I'll sure and do a mock up before I go committin' to a purchase.
