goldfinger 135 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I have the Wolf ands its more than enough for my rimfires, id out to 300 mtrs plus at times the unit has accounted for a few foxes this year ,plenty of rabbits,it has a good clear image as well,just one to remember though make sure you got a scope with parallax adjust for focusing,i've used it for ratting on my air rifle was great fun,Viper should perform just like the rest of the night site range but the id range on vermin will be less due to to its ir range,as they say 100 metres.I personally would recommend the night site range they perform well and are great if you want to swop between rifles.

just-A-snap 1,269 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 All the Nite-Site range are supposed to be getting a revamp for spring 2016, will have integral recording on micro SD card, that is all Nite-Site are giving out as information. This was supposed to have happened in the summer of 2015. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IanB 0 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 You would be better off with an NT300 or Ward 700 near eye display unit to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reckon so,overall I think its personal choice.I can see more detail on the monitor screen than the near eye display units I've tried but find it clumsy when carrying rifle. I've tried the Night Sight and a number of homebrews with the separate screen. It wasn't for me. I've always been a traditionalist and I like everything to be neat with clean lines. I found viewing a screen placed above or to the side of the rifle always felt alien. Then you have the wires and all the other peripheral equipment to deal with. What a ball ache! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
villaman 9,983 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I am the same mate , all so try and shoot next to some body who has a TV screen NV unit ,it's so off putting and annoying ,hate the bloody things Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goldfinger 135 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 You either love or hate these night vis set ups,yes they can take a few outings to get used too,I personally like them, been shooting Wolf for a couple of years now on my rimmys ,the advantages I find are you can shoot from almost any position you don't have have the eye in line with rifle which can be a big plus at times in my opinion,the Tv screen I find doesn't put quarry off,but like all IR units the infra red will emit a dull red glow the more powerful the bigger the glow which on the odd occasions late in season I found can put a weary Fox off,with the wolf though you can reduce the power down to minimum levels of glow, looking now though to move onto thermal a big investment I know but I've read that they can last a life time if looked after.

Tremo 138 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yes, Thermal definitely seems to be the lead pony at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
