Burney Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Hi can I have peoples view on the hik 6mm/10mm/15mm don’t need to spot and further than 200yards really cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley78 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hi, As I understand it the 6mm is for close range Airgun work, the 10mm for mid-range rimfire and the 15mm for longer range centre fire. I have the 10mm and you can easily spot and identify bunnies at 200+ yards, you can zoom in but the picture quickly becomes pixilated with the 10mm and if you want to do this then maybe go for the 15mm which gives you greater definition. For the money I think it’s well worth it and does what I need it to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burney Posted November 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Ok thanks for your reply. I would mainly use it for rats and rabbits but wouldn’t mind being able to see foxes at 200+ so I’m guessing the 6mm is out of the options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 I've got a 15mm. If you've never used a thermal before it's absolutely incredible. Pick up heat signatures quite a long way out and although you have to work out what it if its a way off you get used to picking up foxes etc. For the money it's very good and without something more advanced (expensive) it's brilliant. I had the unfortunate opportunity to use a new pulsar Helion this autumn for 8 weeks. And to be perfectly honest it knocks the HIK into a cocked hat but it's 2.5X the price! If you're wanting a ratting toy for an air rifle the 15mm is more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) I use the 6mm for rats and the variety that claims trees ! can spot bunnies easily but difficult to tell if it’s a bunny or hare ! it’s a good tool as ir soon has rats scurrying away after.

Westley78 Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 In an open field you can see heat signatures around 300 + yds away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
