Appropriate modest price light for a T/CR-22?

[Sid Post]

Yes, I have a 22LR Ruger 10/22 clone rifle from Thomson Center with the Magpul stock with two MLOK slots in the bottom of the forend. Most options I'm seeing are Picatinny to M'LOK with some random Picatinny mount light.

What are my better options at a modest price for something with a reasonable spread/spill/FOV and throw for a 22LR at night? By modest price, $200 SF and similar options are NOT under consideration right now. What are my better options at say ~$50 or, ~$75 or, ~$100? While I don't want a $200 light with a $50 mount on a $250 rifle, I also want something that will work at night to shoot nuisance critters on my farm with reasonable assurance that I could see my backstop or other critters approaching my light out of curiosity. It will be suppressed most of the time so, shadowing is something to consider as well, suggesting maybe an extra low light throw the can's shadow farther up away from my target.

TIA,
Sid

Magpul cantilever mlok, v block and rings, and a Streamlight Polytac.

V block? Won't Picatinny style rings or mount attach directly to it?

Found it! Magpul V-block with plastic rings to suck a Maglite or similar into the V.

Yes they will, but I think the v block might give you a little more offset.

The v block is plastic, the rings are metal. Check the light diameter, but yeah that is the idea. The Protac 1L-1aa works great in the v block, but isn't quite as much output as the Polytac.15849325966422962168096537225634.jpg

Thanks! That pic really helps a lot. The extra offset should help with shadowing too!
