turbo33 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Ideas please? Rather than swapping day scope for night vision, can I have any ideas on a good scope mounted torch for 223 fox etc out to 200 yards....ish. As compact as possible, not something reminiscent of a lighthouse!! Thanks T33 Edited November 8, 2017 by turbo33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nfinlay22 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Night master 800, just bought a the new nm eclipse 1000. I have it mounted on my 223, easily spot your target to 500 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 T50 with AS pil is very good, as is any of the EVO range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I also have a NM800 and find it ok for rifle mounting but the beam is a bit tight for scanning for eyes. I find about 170 yards with a green element its about its top wack to clearly ID a potential target in good conditions. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I speak as I find, but at 64 my eyesight is not as sharp as it was 30 or 40 years ago and frankly as a result I have reduced my lamping activities. My observations on the NM800 are mainly based on using it as a torch when walking my dogs. I do use a Lightforce 240 roof mount lamp to scan and help put light where its needed, that has a Green Lens, I used to put a Lampforce 170 + Orange lens on the top of the scope but since moving from Discovery to Defender the windows are smaller and it makes getting a 170 and long barrelled rifle to much stress getting it out of the window but I have taken foxes to 295 yards with it with no issues in ideal conditions in the past. Thats why I moved to the NM800. Its lighter, and self contained but has its downsides. One of which is the batteries going dead flat with almost no warning.

moor man Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi turbo have a look at this Ludicrouslumens Well designed, compact, kit. Led pils are easily interchangeable as are the reflectors? I got TR38 with white and red pils and am very pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Chances are your batteries are the 'protected' cells that shut off at a certain voltage level. If you use unprotected ones they will continue running much longer with a more progressive reduction of performance... but need more care about how they are recharged. Unprotected cells should be recharged in a charger that regulates the charging in each bay separately, such as this one if you are going to use a multicell type: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NiteCore-D4-Smart-DigiCharger-for-AA-26650-18650-18350-16340-Battery-Car-Charger/291176058598 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
