Night vision

[macberran 2]

Evening all, just been too Aldi,s and got myself a little monocular, great wee bit o'kit. Though its got me thinking and looking!! Googled a few differenet makes up very nice.

Does anyone else use it and if so whats your set up, also having never used a night scope how do you zero or is it just the same as a standered scope. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know much about actual night scopes but all the people i know who use NV have these 'add-on' things which clamp onto the end of your scope and let you see using nightvision.

 

The main one is the Cobra Merlin, but there are other ones aswell.

 

They'll cost you around £500 though

I bought one of those last year, great for spotting rabbits before turning on the lamp, but had also thought about putting it on the back of a normal scope and using, tried it in the garden, and you can see the cross hairs ok, but thats as far as i went with it, you can get an attachment from a camera shop, to connect the front of the mono to the rear of your scope, think it wound work better with one of those shorter scopes as on a normal scope in then pushes everything back, which feels weird when shouldering the rifle

 

i would think that if the scope is zero'd before the mono is attached, then it should'ent make any difference
