ratchers Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I have been reading about airgunners using thermal spotters a bit recently as the greys are not coming to the feeding boxes as much due to the abundance of natural food so they are going walkabout to find them so my question is which thermal is good and which is bad for detection and identification at airgun(non fac)ranges.

Mice! Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 I've been asked this a few times lately, a lot comes down to your budget, all thermals will show you a heat source at airgun ranges, the difference in price means you'll see more detail and be able to identify what your actually seeing. These aren't my pictures but show perfectly the difference between two models So this is a Hik 6 showing heat blobs, rats, and a Hik 15 clearly showing a squirrel. another Lad on the Agf has just bought a Hik 19 Lynx and was out with it last night for the first time, he's said its amazing, once you get used to them it really is amazing what they show you. my problem now is unless it's moving I don't always spot squirrels as fast as I should, thermal has made me lazy.

villaman Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Get the best you can afford . It also depends if your going to use it rabbit shooting , if so you will need something to spot out to 100 or so yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
