peter mcn Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 so could i fit the night vision monocular to my scope n make it like a night vision scope?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comp Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yes, you can,..... In fact that is how the Cobra Merlin system works,... the monocular is fastened to the back of your scope with a DSA, (Daylight Scope Adaptor,... usually just a plastic tube with a couple of hosetype clamps, to hold it all in line....) and away you go.. Think you need an adjustable parallax scope to get the thing lined up,.. I cheated, I mounted a Clarke CNV150 Mono on a 1" scope rail, and a Ultrafire IR torch, and a Beamshot laser for targeting on the front rail,.... OK up to 20 yards,.... would need some better optics for any further range,... but the torch and Clarke cost me £60 new on Fleabay, so thuoght it was worth a punt,.... Soon as I suss out posting pics, will put one up,.. a piccy IS worth a thousand words!!! Cheers, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 So would it be possible to fit a Lidl £110 nv (or an Aldi £90 nv) to a telescopic sight and create a working nv sight?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comp Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 OK,... trying to post pics of my set-up....... and Well, if they are there, (Computer dodo... ) you should see a Clarke monocular mounted at the back, and on a front scope rail, an Infra Red torch as illuminator, (Ultrafire, with 3W IR led assembly, £4.99 on FleaBay!!) with a Beamshot target laser clamped to it. The illuminator makes one heck of a difference,.. and the laser spot is a bit too bright, really for the NV mono. I have fitted a sandwich of filtering material to the front, and this tones it down a touch. The mono had a 'press and hold on' type power switch, I have added a small slide switch to it, so I can have it on or off, handsfree. Snags?? well the laser is visible red light, I am looking for an infra red one, to make the setup totally 'steath...' (Im told the ones in CD burners are worth playing with, and are true IR....) and the mono is only 1x magnification, so only good for 20 yards, or so,.... but I am playing with some lenses from a scrap camcorder..... The laser is clamped to the torch with a Bisley type clamp,.. I found the single fixing screw didn't really hold it stable enough for me, so re-drilled, and tapped it to take 2 M6 bolts, now a lot firmer.. Will keep you informed of any major changes, hope the above is useful,.. any questions, please post, or PM me, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsportshooter Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Why do people insist on trying to fudge stuff. Just buy a NV scope - I'm sure by the time you have messed about with 'this and that' and attaching this 'bit of **** to that' you will probably have spent the balance, of a cheap NV scope, on ammo zeroing in the contraption you have assembled. FALSE ECONOMY. Get your wallet out, pull money from said receptical and hand to the nice man behind the gun shop counter, just don't tell the missus.....
