PAULT Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 can you use night vision in the day no im not taking the p--s a serious question otherwise you would have a rifle you could only use in the night ive shot as many foxes in the day as the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock&load Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 no as far as i am aware lol you cant use in daytime but you can have an attachment you can put on your normal day scope that converts it to nightvision at night obviosly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 can you use night vision in the day no im not taking the p--s a serious question otherwise you would have a rifle you could only use in the night ive shot as many foxes in the day as the night Not as daft as you may think... 1st off,you will need a scope with a large objective lense i.e. 56mm for light gathering capabilities.. Next,a large bag or carrots :blink: Actually,you can get day/night scopes.Flick of a switch is all that is required,but the 1 i saw was about £2,200. There are also scopes that you can change the back on..1 is for daytime and the other a dedicated night scope with no loss of zero...Longbow is 1,only about £3,500.

pavman Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) my bud uses night vision binos then switches to a lamp for the killer shot Watch,flash, bang,dead.........as he says also avoids pointind a loaded rifle all over the place when looking for vermin,,,,,,never know you could come across a white bum in the bushes and he wont be happy to have your "loaded weapon pointing his way" Edited February 26, 2008 by pavman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lock&load Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 looks the dogs danggly bits may have to sell my new frenchi 20b for something like that but looks worth the investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 most of my scopes are 50mm and the 17hmr 56mm will the 50 be enough Size of the lense was a joke..with the carrots What is important is parallax to focus it all,check out some of my earlier threads,there is a lot of info on them. Also check out 1 that John Galway posted as there are some good questions about it on there GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Two brands of Dedicated digital scope's are about to become available for not much money. One of the benefits of digital is that light does not degrade a tube as it does with "analog" NV. This clip of me walking 300 yards through a field should give you an idea of the minimum to expect. It's a bit unsteady at time - grandson was bored silly and I decided to change tack to show the difference between a grass and tree background. the infra red illuminator was on all the time. you will struggle to see me raise my hands at three hundred yards. you-tube clip Some of our other clips there show what has worked better for fleabag and I.

Dave-G Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Ah... I should have said the Digital Ranger is a monocular with an onboard illuminator - two in fact, which is how we managed to video each other doing the shooting in the "other clips from bolluxthen0". One illuminator is always on - the other is selected for longer range viewing, look for the circular splash of light. I'd anticipate the soon to come dedicated units to surpass the Ranger.
