One push of a button and you are on 14 mag with no discernable pixallation meaning long shots are easily doable (A) if you have to and (B) if you are up to it. However, as you say anything thermal that is any good is expensive. Of the current crop of n/v scopes i have been quite impressed with the Pard. It is excellent in daylight and at dusk and more than capable at night. The built in range finder and laser i/r is a bonus as well. Quote Link to post

Baiting and camera go down tomorrow. Its funny how you can get to know individual animals after you hear and see them a few times. Well this fellows luck ran out tonight. He came into the field from the furthest corner around 7.30pm. By seeing him on the camera and at various locations on the farm we managed to plot his pattern of movement. We surmised he would enter the farm where he did and that it would be early in the evening and he didn’t disappoint. Spotted with thermal shot with n/v, a really wary 14lb dog fox that won’t be killing any lambs this spring. 6 Quote Link to post
