Bobba Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Is it possible to take this approach to NV for use with a shotgun? If so, does anyone have a parts list and wiring diagram etc so I can give it a go. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. surely that'll defeat the point of having infra red night vision won't it attaching my home made unit to a rimfire, I could removed numerous rabbits all sitting in close proximity to each other no problem fix same unit on my shotgun and ...........BANG one rabbit, the rest have run just stick a red torch on your barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to put the camera behind the screen ( like a spotter) but you will need a good mounting bracket lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 It may help if I explained the circumstances behind the request. Firstly I do not hold a FAC only a SGC - 20 bores: and, an AAs410 for which I am having an NV add on camera rig being made as we speak. This particular arables farm is problematic not only for a couple of footpaths but also private Toll rides (Not bridal paths) where horse riders pay to ride during the day. At night, despite signs saying private land - no trespassing, numpties from nearby village walk their dogs on the toll rides without having a torch or wearing a yellow tabard. Currently I use a laser designator strapped to the under barrel with bisley mounts but if I sweep the farm and pick up a numpty they get awfully jittery!! So, I was looking at the idea of an NV add on type arrangements to both sweep the farm without being seen and to pick out the rabbits. Hence the Q. Any further thoughts would be welcomed.

Thanks What you want is a hand held spotter mate,you don't want to be sweeping a barrel in the direction of anybody.Even if the gun was empty,if they phone plod then you'd be hard pushed to prove there was nothing in the barrel.
