badsworth Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Does anyone know what happened to GB Sights? They used to sell a very promising digital add-on Night Vision Scope that looked like a winner. Now that I have the money I went to their web page - www.gbsights.co.uk to find that it has gone. Perhaps someone on the forum knows if they have changed the company name or website? What about anyone who has bought one of their products and needs support? Please let us know.

steve_b_wales Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Don't know about the site/company, but take a look at the Cobra Merlin with DSA. It's excellent. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badsworth Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Unfortunately I cannot search for the previous topic - as 'GB' is only 2 letters the search engine won't allow me to search for 'GB Sights' so I am a bit stuck.

I am considering the Merlin, and it does have some good points (one of which is that the company is well established and I could get repairs/problems resolved), but it is not a digital sight and suffers from all the fragility/tube life issues that affect traditional NV scopes. I haven't dismissed it though! B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most things in life, if it's looked after, it should last me many years. I use mine on my .243, with added IR light being provided by a scope mounted Blaserlite with IR filter attached.

ant.mass Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 if your after a digital add-on then i would go for baldies digi add-on for £299 from nightvision supplies ltd and if you add a £140 n1000 laser it will be fine out to 150 yards no problem and here's a Review http://www.riflesunlimited.co.uk/showarticle.php?id=30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
