Rewulf Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Any of the lasers, there isnt a lot between them , Solaris, Sirius, PBIR l , I use a wraith , that comes with 2 different lens's. Adjustable mount helps, but you can get round it tape and a bit of ingenuity . Unless youre wanting to shoot at 500 yards , any of these will shine further than you need on spot.

My question is for clarity and distance WHAT is the best IR for this night vision kit . Many Thanks There are many good quality IR torches out there that don't cost a fortune. Personally, I use a Solaris SRX with my 007 and 019 spotter. This allows me to see at distance well over 400+ yards. It depends on what you want to shoot, ie you won't need one too powerful for rats or rabbits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of getting the tracer adjustable torch mount ( bit like a ball joint method ??) because it’s sometimes hard to have the IR in line with the line of view ??

As mentioned, I have tried quite a few top end IR's and in my opinion the SRX is about the best. Plus a five year warranty as well. 2 minutes ago, Douburr said: I was thinking of getting the tracer adjustable torch mount ( bit like a ball joint method ??) because it’s sometimes hard to have the IR in line with the line of view ?? The Clulite A63 mounting kit is a fantastic bit of kit. I have been using one for many years with various IR & standard torches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hello, I have used many I/R torches over the years, remember the 501 b ? Cannot say much about those mentioned but out to 250 yards my L L TR 38 on the CZ 455 and Mk 1 photon is good, I did buy a second hand one off here but cannot remember model ? The older version by Ian sorrel ? Ir lightbuilds , 3 modes, I was going to put this on a Photon X T , what difference are the laser I/Rs ? Steve b that must make your 019 do 250 plus yards ?

Sorry guys so where are we with reference what is the best IR for a pard 008 because I Suppose I need a laser Model for this scope ?? I’m told the more light you throw at these scopes the better.

Douburr Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I’m getting the impression it’s between the SRX or the black ruby Dark engine??

Rick White Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I am also looking for the same as Doubur so the SRX is looking good for me.

What about the wraith Ir From what I can gather there are no Solaris 's about , the Black ruby will mean dealing with Clive Ward , who will tell you he has stock , but doesnt really, then ignore you while you try to get refunded. I have the Wraith, and think its the Bees , but Im not sure if Ludicrous has stock, best drop them a line, get both lens's if I was you. It has built in dimmer like the Solaris too.

To be honest I’m still torn between A few of them ? one the Dragonfly IR as two of my mates have them and they are either too tight to buy something new / better or they are as good as they say They are ? And also Two others the wraith and the Solaris SRX But what isn’t helping is that there out of stock So I’m told ? So though I’ve had some great advice it seems I can’t one at the moment because of stock issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
