    Surefire Mini Scout M300V Light Review



    Surefire Scout lights are known for their small size and durability and the M300V is no different. I've had mine for a couple years and used it primarily when using NV optics but it certainly works well in white light settings as well.

    Another benefit of the Scout lights is the ability to interface with tons of aftermarket mounts which is huge. It lets you mount it just about anywhere you wish with a variety of hand guard options out there. The light also comes with a clicky tail cap as well as a pressure switch end cap so you can configure it as you wish there as well.

    Basic specs:

    Bezel Diameter: 1.125 inches
    Weight: 4.5 ounces
    Batteries: 1 123A (included)
    Output High White: 250.0 lumens
    Runtime High White: 1.2 hours
    Output High Infrared (mw):100.0 mW
    Runtime High Infrared: 5.0 hours
    Tactical Runtime, White: 1.2 hours

    Below I do some shooting with it mounted on a few rifles and go over all the details of the light, compare the beam to a few other popular weapon lights, and discuss what I think of it overall:

    Did I miss in that video where you showed the IR function?
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Watched the video... what sort of idiot does a review of an IR light with no NV? That’s 8:01 of my life I’ll never get back. I’m not sure what’s worse, this or MAC’s KAC 5.56 QDC review.

    Damn dude. Not only is this thread over a year old, but you're just being a straight dick about it.

    Did you have a hand in making this video? Are you a friend of Mr. Guns And Gear?

    Maybe I just think it’s ridiculous that anyone with a camera, some editing software and internet access can espouse their opinion as thought it’s one of an expert, regardless of their background.

    Not at all, but I would say that he is one of the best YouTube reviewers out there.

    Kyle,

    What have been some of the benefits of running an independent IR light vs using the illuminator of a PEQ or other laser aiming module? Have you seen washing out of the laser in use with the 300V within CQB distances?

    This is relevant to my needs and your insight is appreciated, Kyle.
