Hmm, thermal's looking more and more likely !

[rodp]

He said he could get bigger lenses for it.....cheaper entry AND you end up with a more versatile scope....its win win, honestly rod you'd be daft not to

Oye, I know what yer up to

[sunndog]

Me?....i'm sure i'v no idea what you mean mate, just helping you to see the sense in buying thermal

Really theres no downside. Even the fact you don't have many foxes. You just send it to me and i'll look after it, y'know just to make sure its in good condition and to save you storage space for when you see a fox. Then you just shoot me a text and i'll pop it in the post the very next day....three to four days later one dead fox....yeah deffo the way to go for you mate

Went shooting last night, drove for an hour to get there. Had to go anyway to drop off the farmers bottle and chocs but took all the gear intending to stay a few hours. Got set up and the flamin' mist started to roll in. Spotted a fox in the hop fields only 150 yards or so so picks the rifle up, turned on the Ward D and ir and ......... white out. No matter what I did it was just the same, total white out. Thermal could see him clear as day (terrain was poor) but nv no use at all.

Looks like saving the pennies up

You may want to try a red torch with your scope in such condition. It usually depends dearly on the type and the thickness degree of the fog, in mist it might give acceptable results.

In open fields, when possible, aiming from ground level position helps (under specific fog types).

Many factors effect vision ability in fog, but in many cases it is possible.

I had a customer come up on Sunday night for a demo on the WT1 75-3 and it was damp and foggy with even thicker pea soup fog in the valley.

We were easily 100% identifying badgers and foxes past 300 yards in the worst of it! The customer couldn't believe it and had to pace it out to get his head round it.

Not in this case me old china, there's a river in the valley and I was looking down towards it. Further out I looked the worse it got.

You will insist on living at the end of the known universe though Clive, and it's a bit far to come and take a peek through one Maybe one day I'll load up with supplies, engage warp drive, enter cryosleep and settle down for a trip down your way

I meant without the NV piece.

Try having a red torch in reach for the next occasion.

I'm no expert, but down the valley kind -plus river- must be pretty thick, that'd be heavy fog, not mist. But I'd still try a red beam down there.


Good luck next fog

Got a red T20, always keep it in my pocket as it's useful for walking over rough ground. Just get a red mist instead of white. problem was I was looking down onto the mist at first so just looking at a white wall of mist. Then it rolled over me as the valley filled.
