Boristheblade 1,367 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Been looking at buying a thermal spotter and can not decide between these 2 models, I have been out with a xq38f and was very impressed with the clarity n crisp image. But it will only mainly be used For spotting for the running dogs so are the advantages of the xq38f really needed and worth an extra £680? Anyone on here have a Xq30v? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 I’ve just got the xq50f for the same reason but also for stalking and just generally seeing what’s about lol it’s an awesome bit of kit! Went out on Thursday just to try it and I spotted two roe around 150 yards away, I was stood right in the middle of a farm track and they headed straight for me and past no more than 10ft away! Totally unaware that I was there. I was out with the dog last night and I honestly didn’t have a clue that there was so many bloody rabbits on my permissions!! Unfortunately it doesn’t make the dog any faster but on the right night you would be able to get much closer before turning the lamp on. Also saw a fox coming away from my mates neighbors chicken coop, which was all locked up I assume because it didn’t have have a chicken lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boristheblade 1,367 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 They really are amazing bits of kit aren't they, I'm just tryin to weigh up if it's worth spending an extra £680 on the xq38f from the Xq30v that's all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustyj 63 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 The xq30 is certainly good enough for the runners.clarity won't be as good as the 38 but you get what you pay for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
