Ok, after some investigation the difference between 850nm and 920nm, nevertheless, I saw that even with the 920 you are not invisible (dont know about this Dark Sun model).jthyttin wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019, 07:16If you want to be covert, you should not use 850nm. Maybe you can get away using 940nm LED torch at close range and then integrated 850nm at long range but I doubt it. First time they may not spook but they're very very quick learners even if you don't shoot anything but they get your scent etc.
Reach is not problem with Pard integrated illuminators, but will be at 120y with most others (that is, if illumination is needed, Sightline/Digisight may cope without).
300 Win Mag may raise some worries about eye relief. Estimating range at night is difficult, it depends on location, your experience and preference if LRF is needed or not. You can also use LRF planning and executing approach, not just shooting. Regarding battery duration you should expect to use powersaving features and/or swap batteries or use external power source.
You still didn't mention your budget and rifle make/model, cannot really recommend sight, torch or mounts without that info.
Is it real y worth to buy other IR torch ? Look the attached picture.
Any final recommendation? I think that I with the Pard NV 007, and after I try, I will see if I need the torch. If that doesn’t work either, I will save money for the thermal (
Many thanks to you all, this was a very warm welcome (even the discussion)
