bunnyboiler 1,054 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 What sort of range have they got ? 1800 yards have a look on YouTube pulsar xq50 thermal night vision Quote Link to post
bunnyboiler 1,054 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I didn't realise they was this popular and like you say for somewhere that is hot they are ideal, worth investing then ? 3000 is a bit out of my price range to be honest can you recommend any lower range ones or is it worth shelling out big bucks for these type of things To be honest mate at first I was going to buy one of them hand held things seek reveal for £500 from the game fair but after speaking to the fella selling them and fair play to him said they were not for us and pointed us in the direction of scottcountry to look at there thermal imagers they can also be used in the day for spotting quarry laid low in a field same as anything you get what you pay for well worth the money though Quote Link to post
low plains drifter 10,756 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 What sort of range have they got ? 1800 yards have a look on YouTube pulsar xq50 thermal night vision That's some range, a neighbour was selling a monocular years ago for £ 100, i had the idea to use it for lamping, don't think it had much of a range on it though, must have been a far more basic bit of kit to what you are using Quote Link to post
