  2. Help Required - Poor screen image on diy NV

    in Craft and DIY Section

    Posted

    Those 4.3" monitors won't be doing you any favours. I was ok about them until I saw the difference that 5" 800x480 resolution makes. Does the T20 have the new AS LED in it?

     

    Thanks Dave, Looks like I need to upgrade screen. Not too sure about the AS LED they are advertised currently with the new AS LED but I got mine last year???

     

    I would say, 100%, without parallax adjustment you are severely limiting your units ability and clarity.

     

    Easiest way to find out is try it on someone else's scope with PA and see if the picture improves.

    Thanks for the advice Mick, will have to try my rig as suggested.

     

    camera resolution. Focal length of scope and focus. In my case wearing reading glasses makes a huge difference :)

     

    Ah, Yes I also wear glasses but not so sure this is the clarity issue.

     

    Thanks for everyone's help & suggestions. Looks like I need to play around a bit more!

    Thanks Guys

    The screen image on my DIY set up doesn't seem to have the clarity that I have seen on other DIY set ups such as vids posted on here and youtube.

    Any pointers from those that have pioneered the DIY builds on here?

    It tends to be really poor in the higher mag range say from about 6 upwards

     

    Camera is EJ230 through a non AO 3-9 x 50 scope and 4" screen.

    Illumination T20 with IR from ludicrous lumens.

     

    Would a scope with AO improve this at all.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give

  5. reloading 12 bore carts

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Cheers Hawkeye that's great as I also bought some of these from Clay & game to reload Pigeon Loads fibre 6's in Rio cases. Currently shooting clays with Superfast's so will be saving the empties. Sorted.

    Some feedback from those in the know on here do reckon however that the Rio primers are a little hotter so will need to get some loads made up and proofed me thinks.

    Thanks

  12. Quality goods from Phil Ogden - Highly recommend

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted

    Just would like to revive this thread as you can do no wrong with the products that Phil manufactures, the pricing and the customer service that he provides.

     

    Purchased a lovely shotgun slip at this years shooting show and when I got around to actually swapping it out found that it didn't fit my 30" barrelled gun.

    Called Phil and no problem he sent me out a replacement which arrived within days. All swapped out and original purchased slip on it's way back to Phil.

     

    If you are in the market for luggage bags etc give Phil a call.

    For those of you that were into your coarse match fishing Phil was the guy that made the original GTI Matchman range of fishing luggage which was proper quality stuff.

     

    You can do wrong and you are buying British! give him a call.

  14. Cold feet

    Merino Wool Socks, highest % of Merino Wool content you can find. Great for wicking moisture and keeping your feet nice and cool in the summer as well.

    Quite expensive but worth it.

  15. CX2000 Sub for Rio G-1000 Primers

    in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading

    Posted

    Thanks for your experienced response guys

    I need to double check my posted recipe information as i'm sure that recipe was provided by someone on here.

    Ideally what combination would work using the Rio primer the Vectan AS and Fibre wad components listed?

     

    Morningflight you said you use 21.5 grains with a plastic wad and a CX2000. Would that powder charge 21.5 grains work bearing in mind he primer change and the lesser gas seal characteristics of nitro card fibrewad v's plastic wad.

  22. Savings and university fee's

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by Roly

    Just looking into this for our 17 year old daughter who wants to go to uni when college is done.

    Student loan amount is based on parents income, so if you have a half decent parent income the allocated loan amount will be less than someone who's parents have a low income or do not work. there is a calculator available https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator

     

    Some figures we have come across are Fees @ £9K

    Student accomodation @ £130 a week then there is the food, drink etc etc.

     

    We reckon on top of the annual allowed loan we can expect to find around an extra £6K per year to support her. We will do what we can of course to make it happen.

     

    Hopefully by the time your nippers are ready the system has changed and the UK government and universities will see sense and realise that they need to support further education in this country and not leave it up to the UK taxpayers to additionally fund from there own pockets.

  23. Selling on fleabay

    This is just a warning if you were selling in the US and exporting from the US as scopes are deemed as military items under the USML governed by the US Department of State and are licensable. Similar controls exist in the UK under the ECO for scopes over 4 mag for exports from the UK which are also licensable.

    If you are going to sell it on Fleabay just do UK only and you should be fine if its over 4 mag. See below
