Questions??

[Underdog 2,337]

I have always used a lamp to spot and stalk fox's with.

Usually works fine but every now and then I get a clever one.

I am wondering if I can use a night vision to stalk with until time to shoot and if so how cheaply can it be done with something that will cover 200yds?

Thanks.

I would recommend a thermal spotter, and night vision scope . I would also say that you get what you pay for . The cheaper entry level gear doesn’t perform like the more expensive items . I know guys who use those add on screens and swear by them , you can buy them fairly cheaply. Also a digital spotter shouldn’t set you back too much . But I always say “if you buy cheap you buy twice “ . Have a look at what thermal imaging is capable of before you buy something you may wish to replace before too long . I like you was a lamp man and thought all this new gear was a gimmick. I was wrong, I wouldn’t go out now without my thermal and night vision,  it’s that good ! So go on U , get that big lump out from under your mattress, and spend a few bob , you can’t take it with ya . They don’t sew pockets into shrouds !!!

I knew it . I’ve got a really fantastic investment opportunity !!! All you have to do is PM me your bank details . I will need you to set up a wire transfer of monies to my account in Zimbabwe this is to pay off the corrupt port officials then you can get your share of all these millions I’ve got . Stuck in a shipping container .

So if I went with an add on and got a good ir torch am I right in thinking that you hold the rifle under the arm to shoot?

U 

addons can be like marmite, I've had the tv screen type , robin foxer on u tube uses the nite sight viper , I had one and didn't like it , your face lights up like black pool illuminated, and a un natural shooting position, 

 

ive had the ward 800l , add on , with the right ir , there quit good , but sold it 

SL is right , spend once not twice , dedicated NV , And spotter . Is the way to go 

I've got the pulsar 870lrf , it's a bit dated now , and with the ward b501 torch on top with the ruby black sun pill, I ant joking 600 yards easy , and crustal clear 

there is a lot better out there , thermal, ect , all depends on the lump under you bed mate 

but I can help with a Yukon spotter , with a .  T 20 ir on the side 

lve lent it the farmer to have a mess with , but if it helps mate I'll. Get it back and your more tham welcome to a lend , it good for 200 yards easy , just let me know 

have a. Look on u tube , plenty on there mate to give you a better idea

Thanks friends.

I am going to have to ponder this some more ( the lump under the bed is not very big at all) and agree that saving up for night sight and spotter is the way forward.

As I can usually stalk with in rimfire range maybe my lamp can still act as a spotter!

Thanks again.

Just reading your post DE and you mentioned a ward b501with a ruby black sun pill , I’ve got a T20 on my 970 Lrf , if I got the ward it would improve the performance of my NV I take it ?

[David.evans 5,323]

Thermal scope U

when i used Pav,s it just blew me away and out much more than 200yrds

unless there hiding behind stone walls they cant hide at all

iv seen nothing like it u honestly

thermals are the future and blows nv off the face of the earth

But like every thing else thats new it comes at a cost

so you may have to wait (like me) until you have a full lumpy mattress

but im having one ether way .

The thermal scopes I’ve seen are awesome , but I can’t justify the money . Spot em with thermal then Shoot em with NV is a good combo . But the thermal scopes have the edge for sure   if money is not an object and you’ve got a big lump under the mattress !
