FalconFN Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Each time they get a little better, a little smaller and a little bit more expensive! I started 5 years ago with a camcorder and mahoosive lamp, then I got a laser, then an add-on wth a T20, then I built a scopeless unit (and a rifle to fit it to!), and then another, better scopeless unit and finally a spotter with built-in illumination. I've got to the point now where I finally have the perfect setup for my needs but i still fancy a bit more tinkering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Nice unit colin lad,thats the way forward is an all in one unit.Couple of seconds to put on the rifle with no trailing wires.I used to do a lot of going out at 11pm shooting before i packed in.I bought a cheap doulbe rifle gun slip off the bay.Cut out the middle section which ment i could pre mount the unit before i left the house with the gun ready set up in the bag.

FalconFN Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Ant.mass, I like the small near eye viewer, much eater than the camcorder ones I've used. What is the wiring like - is it a ribbon cable or a simple 3 wire jobbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
