romanipoacher 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 i have been looking at the various night vision scopes on the market and the only one i could really afford is something like the deban dn4900 gen 1, the scope would be going on an air riffle.so could someone please let me know if they are any good or not......cheers.

mad al 146 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Absolutely nowt wrong with it at all, it'll do the job for ya no probs, it's OK to buy all the latest if you've got the bucks, but I used Gen1 and it was ace It's surprising how close your quarry comes when you can sit there and watch them with no light, my problem was after looking through it, I'd have trouble re-adjusting to the darkness, but that was just my eyesight and would be the same with any NV.

ghillies 209 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 you'll need a good illuminater for gen1.. but it's good enough when you have, well for the price it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillair1 16 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've had a newcon ns156, ATN390 and now use a merlin add on monocular with a 90mw laser. Works for both air and .22lr rimfire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghillies 209 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) simple fraise to sum it it up you cant see in the dark, but with one of these you can! most the stuff today is loads better than than a few years back, always get a peek through one if you can... main issues are silent transducer..doesnt wuh-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-uheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it's silent.. if the tubes good you get used to it quickly.. electrostatic protect..or reduction, gets rid of the wandering black dots on the image.. and heres a big one... overlight protection in gen1 is usualy just a voltage cut..NOT a total protection. t pospones the tube life though. half the russian 'crap' is what the americans are selling to you under the new badge of US is grester and god bless america...re branded.(or so a lotta rumour has it...) isrealy stuff is is sposed to be 'inferia'..i havent seen one so dont know, same for the arab stuff, which is probably the same as the isrealy.. but.. end ogf they day everyone likes a bit of name calling.. if theyre too bright you cant see jack shit when you take your eye away, so dont jump the gun if it's not true bright green, mines a sickly green, but, it works well, and when i take my eye away i can walk np's with no blacked eye vision from glaire.. the bigest issue is nearest focus.. that's what you can focus to nearest, for airguns a 20 yard minimum focus aint no use for ratting. most are 2.5 mag with the availability of a 'doubler'.. whith more mag theres less feild of veiw usualy, unless it's made to be wider, they are available on the net etc but it's a fair trawl through a lot of repeats and bogus no info sites... if they cant or wont pruduce specs then why not!..so unless you know already...it's got to be really cheap to dare try it. ebays is sourse, take your chances though, anything from abroad will cost more to ship back and take longer to get dixed, a lot have had no problems some seem to be rife with bad veiws.. http://www.nightvisionsuppliesltd.co.uk/digiaddon.php http://www.ustasshop.com/catalog/product/8060 http://www.airgunhunting.com/Night%20Vision%20Rifles.htm think these are the new soviet bizar peoples http://www.barra-vatersay-accommodation.co...nightvision.htm http://www.nightvision.dk/english/samlet%2...0riflescope.htm heres the english site http://www.nvscopes.com/night%20vision%20products.html just a few of many..... most need weaver to dovetail adapter, but make sure theyre going the right way, airguns are dovetail...
