Re: New to night vision

Just a follow up on the ir. Ended up with clives black sun dark engine max and I tried it out tonight with the wraith, I am very impressed with the difference it has made. The view is very clear and sharp, great product. Thanks Clive and a massive thanks to all for the advice on here. :clap:

Re: New to night vision

Whether or not you need the additional lens in the 019 eyepiece depends entirely on how good your eyesight is. If you have normal vision, or are short sighted, then you probably won't need an additional lens. If you are longsighted or need glasses for reading, then you almost certainly will need an...

Re: New to night vision

Thanks for all the useful information lads, very much appreciated. The little range finder looks very useful and seems the way to go sometime in the future but I am going to range a few areas first and see where that takes me. The pard looks very good inexpensive in comparison to thermal. I watched ...

Re: New to night vision

If you have a range finder that will work in the day check out various distances, and get to know the ground you are shooting also take note of back stops, as things looks totally different in the night, looking through NV, like mentioned above Believe it or believe it not the ground I shoot I have...

Re: New to night vision

The addon lrf's are a totally separate unit you bolt onto the side of your scope and then basically zero to your reticle, you can see the splash through the scope. It then displays the range on the back of the lrf unit It is possible to make a stadiametric rangefinder work so companies list it as a...

Re: New to night vision

Ok, I have a Sirius xtl on it's way. Just bought the lazer as I have good quality batteries here. Stadiametric, now theirs a big word, but I get the drift now. Its probably better for a static target and less useful for a target that on the move and a quick shot is needed on . That's if I am reading...

Re: New to night vision

I can get all night out of 1 battery but always carry a spare, as I spot with a thermal, and it's only put on to take a shot, hope this helps Thanks for that. I have plenty of those batteries here and a couple of chargers so should be ok. Could I ask you if you have mastered the range finder on the...

Re: New to night vision

Definitely go for the bigger laser For a Good cheap spotter look at the pard 019 (is it 019 lads?) Somebody will correct me if I've got the numbers wrong. Often come up used and a wanted add might get results too. Never used one myself but they seem decent for the money Thanks for that and I will l...

Re: New to night vision

I have a sightmark wraith 4k Pro max, and I would go for the Sirus xtl, as great picture, and you will see further than you'll ever shoot Jeffo, I had a look at that Sirius xtl on YouTube video and it does look very good. How many hours of battery life are you getting with it. At the moment I am us...

Re: New to night vision

I've never used a Wraith 4k so can't say how good the image at 200 yards would be with the cheaper IR. Personally, I'd bite the bullet and buy the more expensive one. The illuminators in my links all have 25mm diameter bodies, so it may be that the mount for the IR supplied with the Wraith can be u...
