ND3 Laser

[McF]

Hi

Has anyone got experience of using a ND3 laser lite.

 

Are they value for money, can you really pick out targets out to 250yds and how do they compare to night vision

 

Thanks in advance for any replys.

I've seen advert's quoting laser sights as night vision. They can't be night vision, as this uses Infra Red, which we, or animals cannot see.

I would think that shining a very bright beam at a fox or a rabbit could possibly spook it, especially if it's already lamp shy.

 

I use a Cobra Merlin NV with day scope adaptor. This is an excellent bit of kit in my opinion. When I use it with added IR 'light' I can cleary identify quarry at 250 yards +

I picked one up cheap in the states last week, couldn't resist. Will post report once I've field tested. Have tried at home attached to spare scope and have to say I'm impressed so far

so was i when i shot a bunnie out at 300yards with a 223 that it was mounted on.

 

just wish i was not saving for a new rifle as the cash may have gone on one,

I had one on trial,

 

IMHO, i don't think they are worth the money. Yes you can see the eyes, but i found it hard to pick out the bodies.

Some were spooked by it. I think i'll stick with my nv monocular for spotting and flick the lamp on for when i take the shot.

I have a yukon x3x50 gen 1. Paid £199 for it - worth the money.

You can see rabbits and foxes at 100yds with the on board ir illuminator. Plus, if there's nothing there, you

Haven't disturbed the field.

there ok if you want people from miles around looking at someone waving a tourch, about yes they work but true night vision takes some beating.

Try looking at the Cobra Merlin with day scope adaptor. An excellent bit of kit!

You know what its like Webber, wifey keeps asking what do I want for christmas.

 

So Im just putting the feelers out to find out what these ND3s before I opt for NV

[Beardo]

I don't think you should really compare the two, I see them as being in the middle ground between lamps and nv. Using all my shooting credits on driven at the mo so difficult to get out lamping

If you can't use it NB and want it field trialled just let me know
