Cm76 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Looking for advice on a new ir been looking at the Solaris laser illuminator and was wondering if anyone on here was using one and what they thought of it if not what are you using I’m looking at something that will throw the light a good way as I want to use the nv to spot the quarry at a distance and call it in or approach it quietly. Appreciate your views cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonker Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm using a Sniper Hog and it does all I want it to do, but I do spot with thermal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 1 hour ago, bumpy22 said: dragon fly +1. Seen the others claiming they are the best out there, but not enough difference to make me change from what I already have. But then how far do I need to shoot out at night, i think 500 yards is far enough 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 The Hawke IR I have is more than capable for me out to 250yrs and a touch more. That is actually tell what it is not just eye reflection. I have it as an add on to my BOBLOV spotter. I am pretty confident that on full setting (it has three) then it would indicate a presence out to 400 or more, but I have never needed that.

steve_b_wales Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I'm now using a Solaris SRX laser IR and I'm amazed at it's power and crisp beam. I've measured it out to 437 yards so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
