M640 Turbo: Surefire Scout Light Pro By: David Reeder

The Surefire Scout Light series has been outstanding since the git-go. You’d be hard-pressed to find any of our crew that don’t use one (or five) in some capacity of the other. SHOT Show 2026 saw the introduction of another model: the M640T Turbo Scout Light Pro WML.

A couple of our gang went looking for someone from Surefire to walk us through all their new products, and lookee here how lucky we got!This is Trevor Oosterhof and his magnificent mustache to give you the rundown on the Surefire 640 Turbo.

We’ll recap for everyone whose been day-drinking.

The M640T Turbo Scout Light Pro is a non-dual-fuel long gun WLM intended for users who prefer not to rely on rechargeable batteries.

• Powered by two (2) 123A batteries (lithium batteries included)
• Pushes 700 lumens and 70,000 candela in a tight focused beam for PID
• Beam distance: 529 meters

Excellent head innuendo aside, this could be a great upgrade for someone who needs it. Surefire Turbos are great lights, no less sothe Scout versions. Though you probably don’t need us to tell you that.
