Billy. Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 does it work still? ...Try before you buy springs to mind... :good: Would be interested to hear if it does actually work though. You'll have done well picking that up if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAULT Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 can see a good 100 yds with it if i get a better ir source would this improve the range thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectra26 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Wow what a bargain for 17 quid! Glad it works for you. You could get an IR torch, Yukon do them. But since you got it for a bargain, why not keep it that way and get an IR filter for a normal torch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 When I used my Cobra Merlin NV, I fitted a Blazerlite with IR filter, to my scope. This increased the viewing range to over 200 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
