    I would be interested in a pup, from any resulting litters......

    I've just got one of those,they are great but require a picatinny mount. There is another seller on that auction site, selling them with an adjustable mount. They are great for night vision, but you need to be able to see the ir laser report through the scope as they are not a see through unit. With the adjustable mount you can zero it to your crosshairs. With the fixed mount you may not be able to see the laser report, so you may not be ranging what you are aiming at. Atb Rick

    What's the rangefinder like? I ordered one earlier today, from a well known internet auction website . Rick

    I got the vertically adjustable ones for my impact, was lucky that they needed hardly any lateral zero shift.. still about £70 though...

    Had the mk3 &mk4 in the past, they were great too. The merlyns are great rifles..... Atb

    I used the sportsmatch adjustable mounts for my photon. Not cheap but were spot on. Atb

    Bought 6 of these batteries and a USB charger, from a well known online auction site. I've been on 3 separate rat shooting forays on 1 charge and still showing maximum capacity. I have 4 in my nv monocular spotter and 2 in my photon, and I've been using the onboard ir. They weren't cheap at 40 odd quid from Hong Kong but they'll soon pay for themselves.

    Had a few more last night, and the big one prompted me to get the tape measure out.. Not as big as I thought.
  13. rick12345
    Yeah, generator would do it. Probably the easiest way if you're not bothered by the fumes..

    Leisure inverters have a battery built in, you would need a high spec one but doubt it would run for 6hrs. 1kw would be the minimum to run that unit. You may need a couple of 12v car batteries connected in parallel to a decent inverter.
  15. rick12345
    You could do it with a 1kw leisure inverter.

    Nice 1. You're lucky, still bugger all around here.

    Had a little wander around the rat permission, nailed about 5 but only found 2. The rat in the second pic looked bigger than the previous record, which was just under 12" minus it's tail. Will have to take a tape measure with me next time.

    Try the sportsmatch adjustable mounts, that way you can optically zero the scope before you actually zero. I had the dedicated Yukon mount but nearly ran out of adjustment. As it's a digital reticule, it moves around the screen, and when you get to the extremities of adjustment it looks odd. Also I fitted a green laser to help with range finding, if you're a bit flush you could get an ir laser. http://www.jsramsbottom.com/products/mounts--rails-30mm-tube-mounts-(11mm-38-dovetails)-sportmatch-30mm-mounts/smatp61-sportsmatch-30mm-tube-2-piece-mounts-extra-high-height-adjustable-%5Batp61%5D.

    They are brilliant, but you'll go through the batteries, using the onboard ir.
  20. rick12345
    Would it not be too dark? They do need natural light, really....
  21. rick12345
    Yeah, shot using the photon xt, have fitted a green laser now, to help with range finding. Doesn't seem to phase them too much.

    Didn't seem to be too many about tonight. Nearly made double figures, two more I couldn't get to under some pallets. Well, I could of got them, but I wasn't about to get on my hands and knees in all that duck, goose, chicken and rhea shit....

    Nice looking bit of ground there. Wish I'd not sold my rapid.
