Cake444 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I generally lamp with a shotgun/lamp setup using a few red filters. On one piece of land that I shoot on regularly, I’m fairly sure that the Rabbits have gotten lamp shy. As soon as I flip the switch on my torch the Rabbits bolt. There are still lots around and I’m sure their fear is down to my sloppiness with bright LED lights without filters. I appreciate that this isn’t the normal setup to consider a Night Vision scope but I’m seriously considering it. I have a weaver rail on the receiver and zeroing it roughly could be strait forward enough with a laser bore at first. I’ve been looking at an ATN MK 350 with low magnification. Any thoughts or advice would be great, or maybe somebody already has this NVG? It will cost around £285 new from the USA (including delivery) so before I spend the money I thought I would ask the voice/text of experience. Thanks again.

al4x Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I personally wouldn't mount an expensive nv on a shotgun and try and use it :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its recoil you mean then there isn’t an issue with this particular model of NVG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Its more trying to keep your eye on the eyepiece while swinging a shotgun unless you intend purely shooting them sitting still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really just for two places were I’m trying to keep the rabbit numbers down, not for general use. If using night vision on the shotgun I will be firing from a fixed position most of the time, as I’ve set up a few hides around the hot spots. On a windy dark night I imagine that the lamp would be fine. I’ve found that the rabbits are just getting very jumpy. Two years ago on the same land I had great success stalking with a lamp. As times have gone on I’m lucky to get one with this method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 can't actually say I'm surprised its why most people go FAC, shooting bunnies at night with a shotgun is really only worthwhile from a vehicle and even then it usually gets so many noise complaints its not worth it. Very good fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
