sako751sg Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Looking for something different to the DFA75 and thinking of the above. Anyone got one,or used,or anyone got alternatives that will do the job? Ideally just an add on,either front or back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 i use a ward add on digital night vision. looked through a few other night vision units and this is by far the best for money. spot with thermal spotter and shoot with ward on various different rifles from airgun to centerfire . with a decent ir the distances you can see is fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&W FOX Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I've got a DFA75, a Ward 800s and a Photon 6.5x50. The clarity on the DFA beats the others hands down. I use the DFA set on its default 100m setting, zeroed at that and leave the mount on a Walther 3-9x56 ( perfect scope for a DFA) attached to a rifle. The Photon is on a .22RF for rats and rabbits The Ward I use on everything else, The Ward is very temperamental to moisture and cloud cover etc. during the night and ID visibility can go from 80-300meters depending on conditions. They are also scope temperamental as well. I use a Black Sun Ruby on the Ward and a Night Master 800IR with the others. Need any more info PM me Sako751sg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is old 700 but struggle to tell a difference picture wise between 800. When I spoke to thomas jacks they did say dfa75 was only really good for a maximum of 150 but never tried it. I did have a photon xt for a short while and probably best I dont comment on that. With all night vision they will be effect by weather conditions. A mate has a drone and if the weather conditions are **** that wont have a decent pic. The ir is a huge consideration with all these units. I am happy with what I have shot with mine since I have had it? Have a look in fox club section quite a few guys on here with different units and will give honest opinion Edited August 27, 2018 by bumpy22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard there are a few with less than decent pictures if the conditions are not the best. Been recommended to look at the ADDONIGHT from Custom Rifle Scopes UK. Seems a good bit of kit although maybe not the range compared to some. Mostly will be used for rabbits as just started on them again and numbers are epic high.Worked the .17 with lamp one night last week and we ended with 230ish picked and would have had 300+ with all the ones that kicked back down. Would have had a huge bag with thermal right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have maybe a mile and a half of this glen and its unreal.Didnt shoot it last year at all as it changed hands but we are back on.Where i lay through the night i would have had 120+ just from laying in one spot,and the wee paddock next to me,maybe 5-6acres,i counted 250+ with the thermal at one time. Getting £1 a rabbit gut in so pays the ammo and diesel but its good crack regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
