dannywayoflife Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I've just bought one will arrive tomorrow I'll try it over the weekend so I'll let you know. I did alot of research first tho and all feedback was positive. Generally seems to work well for people. They all say you need a good ir source im going to use my blazerlite with an ir filter so should be plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadioles Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Yes, I bought one for my son to use. Like any add-on its a bit of a faff fitting it and setting it up and it can push your eye back a bit but the quality of the image is really very good and it avoids the need for a rifle dedicated to night vision. I use a Sentinel gen2 dedicated night vision which cost a couple of thousand pounds and although it is obviously better I was very impressed by the add-on unit. You do need a day scope with parallax adjustment to get everything in focus, but again, that is probably true of most add-ons. It also helps if the day scope has quite low minimum magnification. The most important bit is the light source. More power is good and the (expensive) laser ir sources make a huge difference. It all depends what you are shooting and how far away. Typically you will only be magnifying 4 or 5 times so if going for head shots on rabbits, 50 yards is good. At night it is almost impossible to estimate distance using night vision so by zeroing your .22lr (if that is what you are using) at,say, 50 yards you will hopefully be in the kill zone from maybe 15 to 60 yards (everyone is different)so estimating distance is less critical. Enjoy it. Rabbits do get spooked by ir lights, it is not as invisible as you might think. Be careful where you point the laser light sources, more powerful ones are generally not eye safe. You don't want a burned retina! Edited August 23, 2011 by dadioles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
