Boristheblade 1,367 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Just wondered if anyone has any experience with this? I'm looking at buying a night vision monocular and have looked at Yukon ranger rt. pulsar 860rt and pulsar x970. Is the x970 worth the extra money? I need it for spotting for the runners. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So oooking for something under a grand really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Igz 1,445 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Can't go wrong with the Xq38f mate if you can push the budget up a little. You sound like me for loosing things I'm always at it my mate laughs at me but I've put a cord onto it that hangs round my neck nicely and I can slip it in and out of my coat as and when needed so shouldn't need to ever take it off. Ask Ian b he will give you a good deal he offered me a good price but I ended up getting from the game fair for just a little over what he offered he just never had it in stock at the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Igz 1,445 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Only been out a couple of nights with it but it is worth the money and don't need to be walking round shining a bright light everywhere and disturbing anyone or anything just flick the lamp on when really needed. Hopefully get some good use out of it in the next few weeks 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David.evans 5,323 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 The n870 will go 400 yards easy , with the right ir add on , i.e. T67 , or better the evo 75 I've got the 75 on mine , and crustal clear at 350/400 yards Atb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Quantum lite XQ30V might be a better option , not as good as the Helions but it will serve its purpose and pick up rabbit heat signatures to 250yds and fox 350yds, weather dependant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
