blueeyes Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi guys need some advise regarding the above i have some permissions where the locals are running riot with lamps so a lot of lamp shy rabbits so looking for the best budget say £500 used or new for this purpose on my .22 rimfire and would like to be able to put it on my foxing rifle .223 as well from time to time so prefer the DSA option look forward to your replies thanks.

peek-at Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Hi, Noticed on dealextreme that you can also get the camera & monitor CAMERA LINK MONITOR saw that you can get an IR untrafire for under £19...... IR TORCH At under £50 Im quite tempted to have a go at putting one of these together. Can you tell me what range it is effective at?

al4x Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 at that budget look at some of the gen 1 monacles with DSA and increase the IR with your lamp. Bodging up screens on ebay is a decent way of spending time and works ok on very close stuff but there is far better out there. Especially if you want to put it on a .223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1e Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I bought a diy set-up for £90, and bought a lithium 12 volt rechargable battery and charger for £20 off ebay. I just added my ir laser. I didn't need to do anywork bar just attaching to the gun. It does have its limitations on range (with my laser anyhow) i wouldn't get much further than 100 yards. I would presume with a more powerful laser it should extend the range. All together it came out at around £150. Very good item and price. Especially as i just wanted it for rabbits and fox, where the alternatives were the NS 50 at a rip-off price of £400!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Surely you could get a cobra merlin for that sort of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 'scope' here for someone with the ability to knock up these DIY set ups and make a few quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
