Scully Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Have been loaned this with instructions to ‘kill everything you see’! Have no idea what I’m doing but mentioned to landowner I was looking for a good torch to affix to my rf, then I could walk around fields rather than drive. He said ‘I’ve got just the thing’. Reluctantly I agreed to give it a go. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Thassa heck of a torch silencer. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 errrr if it works as good as it looks... certainly an IR on top so assume the rest is NV others on here may be able to identify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hello, any idea of make for torch and N/V add on , I presume an I/R torch ? Top left looks like a night vision spotter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 The landowner says it’s a great bit of kit….2nd Gen Canadian Military hardware….and I’ve no doubt it is. It all just feels very unbalanced and cumbersome to me. The monocular top left is a Pulsar thermal spotter. I’m quite looking forward to using it, just not familiar with any of it at all. 🤷♂️ 52 minutes ago, Dave-G said: Thassa heck of a torch silencer. 🙂 Indeed! I did a double take when I first saw it!

Dougy Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Looks like PVS-14 and the torch has the tube on to reduce refection off the mod being picked up in the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ve gone modern because I’ve just put a 3-9 zoom scope on my rimfire (old eyes struggling on longer range rabbits on 6x these days).

welshwarrior Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 PVS 14 add on don’t use it on anything over 223 or the recoil will damage it. Not sure on the torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Just got back in from first outing with the above set up. I realise I probably need to spend a bit of time setting this up properly, but it’s not really that easy with it not getting properly dark til nigh on 11pm, but I gave it a go, and bagged two rabbits. Not an entirely clear or well focussed image, with a certain amount of ‘flair’, but I managed to pick up the glare of an eye on both counts, and was well impressed with one shot in particular as it was a good distance. The Pulsar monocular I’m well impressed with though; I was picking up registers over two hundred yards away ( I know how long these fields are ) and was still picking up a register from the first dead rabbit at least half an hour after it was shot. I don’t know if that’s normal however, as I’ve never used this gear before. Anyhow, it was an experience. I love creeping about in the dark. OH says I’m weird. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 This time of year with the temperatures not to low you will still see a heat source coming from a Rabbit 30 min later also cant you turn down the spot on the IR you wont need that shroud on it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 Thanks. I honestly don’t know, I will return it all to the landowner later today as he’s lamping foxes tonight. Given the time and a bit of a play I could probably get it set up a lot better. I have managed to create a cool white screen on the thermal imager monocular somehow, whereas it was a warm glowing orange when I set out! 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I have mine on red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to, it’s just a matter of money really, and there are other things I’d rather spend money on. I had a look at a Wraith just out of interest, but a mate tells me a good S/H thermal imaging ‘ scope would be in the 2.5k bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
