Can the above be attached to the fence rail by using staples using an electric nail gun? I was thinking that maybe I could put 2-3 through each board but not sure if they would be strong enough? The length of them are okay. I have nails ready to use but thought it would be quicker with staples.

Yes. I have the first version of the Thunder, the 2nd version comes (at a price) with the Rusan QR adaptor. I've just ordered one from Slovenia, as most of the UK companies I messaged about one, couldn't even be bothered to reply.

This is the 'ultimate' package that enables you to use it a stand alone scope, spotter and front add on. The cross hairs can be switched off if using it as a spotter. Someone on a thermal hunting Facebook website stated that if using it as a front add on, it has to be synchronised with the rifle scope. Why, I don't understand?

So do I. I have a FAC 8 shot version and it's brilliant. Used mainly for crop protection (corvids/pigeons) many 1000's of cartridges have been put through it with no issues.

Hi John. I need a 57mm Rusan adaptor. I'm not sure of the thread size of the HIKMICRO Thunder. There is an option to purchase the adaptor with reducing ring fitted. Thanks.

I've just had a message from someone on a Thermal hunting Facebook page who stated that the Thunder has to be aligned with the rifle scope. I'll take a look at Youtube anyway though. Thanks.

Does anyone use the above thermal 'scope'. A question I have is, if I use this as a front add on, on my scope, can it just be connected and used without sychronising the reticule on the Thunder with the scope's reticule?

Very sad to see the fox in such a sorrowful state. Can't someone humanely dispatch it?

Yes a few people have said how good the Rusan system is. I'm looking for the best price.

That's what I was thinking to be honest. The thermal add on does have a choice of reticules but as you've mentioned, it shouldn't make a difference as the scope if the scope is zeroed. I'll have a look at the instructions again and see what they say. Thanks for your (and other's)comments/suggestions.

It's to connect the HIKMICRO collar better to the scope. It comes with self adhesive rubber strips which, when I tried them, still alowed the thermal add on to move. I am looking into purchasing a RUSAN QR adaptor and reducing ring, but thought I would try something else first. Further to my first post regarding using a plastic shim, I've now noticed that the add on still moves. Maybe a thicker shim will do the job, but I can see me ending up buying the RUSAN system (which is used with the HIKMICRO Thunder 2 version I've been told.

Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase various thickness shims? I've got a HIKMICRO Thunder set up and to attach the unit as a front add on, they supply various thickness self adhesive rubber strips. This is certainly not ideal to maintain zero if removing and refitting the unit. There is a collar/reducing ring made by RUSAN which is good but this comes at a price (approx £158) but I found a thin shim which fits around my 57mm scope and the HIKMICRO collar fits snugly without movement. I haven't tried it for loss of zero as yet, as I haven't synchronised it with my scope, but I do know that it's far better than the rubber strips. I plan to use the Thunder as a stand alone scope on my .22 Hornet and an add on, either on my .22lr or .243. Any advice etc appreciated.

I spoke (mainly) to Scott, and to another staff member (who didn't sound 'old') and, as mentioned, both were very friendly and helpful.

Sad to see them in this state. It would be kind to put her out of her misery, perhaps using a .22lr subsonic when she's in your garden.

Correct. We can thank good old Maggie Thatcher for this, I believe.

A friend of mine will soon have 100 of the above cases for sale. He doesn't reload so I prepare them ready for sale on his behalf. The cases will be deprimed, full length resized and wet tumbled. Price is £60 inc 2nd class signed for postage.

It took approx' 3 hours for it to work on me. And after drinking the 2 ltrs, my bowels were completely emptied.

I would like to thank the above company, and in particular, Scott, who dealt with my purchase recently of a HIKMICRO Thunder 35mm Ultimate package. From the very first enquiry about it, Scott was very helpful, both via email and phonecalls. After receiving the goods, I discovered that the 40mm scope collar (advertised to fit up to 50mm) was not suitable and I have been offered a refund on that piece if kit. This is the first time I've dealt with this company but it certainly won't be the last. Thanks Scott.

Thanks. I'll contact the dealership later today.

Yes the service was approx a month ago.

No, I don't have them.

Has anyone got or used the above? I recently purchased a HIKMICRO Thunder ultimate set up but have read that keeping zero is not that good, and accordingly, the Rusan system is much better. It's not cheap though.

A few days ago I noticed that when I applied the brakes on my vehicle, sometimes the brake pedal felt hard to press and I also felt slight movement on the clutch pedal. It only happens now and then. My vehicle has just had a service with no faults etc found. It's under warranty but I wanted advice first before reporting it, if anyone can suggest something.

I sold a rifle and ammunition to my mate. With regard to the ammunition, I entered the calibre and quantity and stated 'gift'.
