Steve Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 Hi guys. I've managed to blag a go with a pair of nightvision bino's tonight. I'm taking them with me to try and sort out a fox that's attacking new lambs. Ha! Charlie cannot escape from me now. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide!! Sorry - getting a bit carried away there. I'll let you know how I get on. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted March 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hi guys. Tried out the nightvision bino's last night - found them a wee bit disappointing! Image was pretty grainy, but movement showed up well - managed to spot Charlie as he skulked across a field about 200yds away. Finished stalking him with the lamp, and got him with a headshot from the .22 at about 75yds. I definitely would not spend the money on nightvision bino's - I don't think the benefits outweigh the cost. I'll stick with my £14.99 hand-held lamp!!

lazza Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hiya Steve Just out of interest, how much were the bino's if you had bought them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hi Lazza. I think the guy told me he had paid about £400 for the bino's - a bit too dear for me I'm afraid! I think I seen a nightvision monocular in the Deben catalogue for £169 or so, if you're thinking about it. How did it go with the dimmer switch by the way?

Deako Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hi Steve,interested to see your opinion on the night vision gear.My findings have been much the same,except for one product,which is the kitesite available from 'foxshot' .This one works really well,though the reticle on the riflescope is a bit imprecise.Only downside is the £4,500 price tag.Needless to say,I have'nt bought one.....! :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted March 6, 2002 Report Share Posted March 6, 2002 Hiya Steve I haven't got around to the dimmer switch just yet! Been too busy painting my trousers! I'll hopefully give it a go at the weekend. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
