Homemade Nightvision For Air Rifles

[DanAdams 10]

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has made their own nightvision set up for their air rifle. I only have £-£100 to spend, I have a lamp so could I put a ir filter on that? I've seen it done but just not sure what I need. Could someone please make a list of everything I would need, it only needs to be for up to 40 possibly 45 yards, anything that might help would be much appreciated, many thanks, ATB Dan

I did one , cost me about £50 all in . Used an IR cctv lens and a 3 inch screen . Loads of info on the net . Ill try and dig out some pics in a bit , but its very easy .

if is a good 12v lamp, with a thicker IR pass filter you'll be suprised how much illiminasion you will get.(thinner one will be more visable at sourse, and...not to close to the bulb lol its plastic filtering and the thinner ones melt)

 

i used a maglight, no mods beyond a 6v battery on 4.8v krypton bulb and filtered it..got 50 yards easy.

 

camera wise get some thing that sort of 0.01 or 0.001 lux. anny thing les (e.g.0.1lux will be amaizing crap even with the filter removed)

 

and if your into removing the ir block filters off the sencor, the prosess is very easy, a hobby knife, one shaped like a sqaure chisel, gently push on a corner and see if it lifts of, be carefull not to push through and scratch the sencor cover...if it dont come off, forget about the solder iron way, all i've read and found says 'ehhh fooook!! broke it.............'

lol use the search?

 

''i went night shooting''

 

''baad day''

 

'does any body?''

 

''left hand shooters''...

 

lool...sorry but theres no real libry sytem to a forum search, quite often you'll find what you want under some totaly bogus topic tittle...search for the words is a bit better, some times.

Thanks everyone I appreciate it, safe hunting, Dan

you're correct in trying different words, but are you just using the search bar that searches via google, or the tab just to the right, which will search the forum?
