Iv been a lamp man from being a kid Ian and yes im bloody good with them iv had a few nv units but not got on with them but never had a range finder to add to them did not have one last night with the photon but Allan did and i must say what a game changer it was for me I honestly cant thank the man enough for taking the time out to help me iv had nights where iv had the rifle by the mod held above my head and was going to smash it just with frustration over a nv unit . but allan just set the thing up and zero,d it in for me and it was spot on . i had another rifle with me fitted up with a t20 lamp red beam but apart from using it in day light i never got it back out of the bag at night . At one point i put the hw100 away and just sat back and watched Allan do his magic with the thermal and FX atvbjimmy Quote Link to post

philpot 5,009 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I must confess that it would be good to see one in action as Jimmy did because looking at them at the shows is not really any good. I am guessing just as a night time range finder was a game changer for me, this spotter must take it to the next level, not sure that for bunny / rat shooting a thermal scope is best suited although a thermal spotter must be superb to find shot quarry as well as spotting them in the first place. I need a nice little win on the lotto because my pension will NEVER get me a thermal spotter. Phil Quote Link to post

philpot 5,009 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 I spoke to a guy with a Wildcat .25 fac Ian and whilst he really liked the gun, he found it rather twitchy with 47fpe up the spout whereas the Impact has that little bit of extra weight. Get that fac sent off for Jimmy, I don't know why you didn't have a chat with the boys in blue at the show a couple of weeks ago. Remember what I said, ONLY APPLY FOR THE .25 PLUS MOD IN FAC AIR.............................NOTHING ELSE. Good luck me ole duks. Phil 2 Quote Link to post

Phil My head is still spinning Phil all iv done is look at thermal scopes Ian is there a cheaper one but just as good as the one allan has or as near to it as possible iv had a look on your site but as im new to this i dont know what im looking at lol atvbjimmy Quote Link to post
IanB 0 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 As far as thermal rifle scopes go, the Trail XQ50 or Apex XQ50 LRF is the one to go for, for the price bracket it’s in, I wouldn’t spend more, and I wouldn’t get any models under these too. Handhelds I would say get a Helion XQ38F . But if your on a real tight budget get a Quantum Lite for the ranges your using it, it would be more than adaquate, but, i’d Still say keep saving for a Helion formthr better detection range and image, features, etc. As a heads up as of tomorrow all Pulsar products will be seeing a rise of between 5-10% across the board to align with European prices due to £ € rates.
