Hi Pete,
I live just north of Aberdeen. The Pulsar HD50S Thermal Imaging Scope is a used as a spotter, similar to what you have yourself I would imagine. I do have a WT1 75-3 rifle thermal scope (not for sale) which you are more than welcome to have a look at, bit far though!!

Sorry m8 I thought it was a rifle scope hand a late night last night lol. What is your thermal scope like.
Thanks Pete.

Hi Pete,
Until you actually look through and use these thermal rifle scopes, it is difficult for me to describe how good they are. For me they are a Godsend. Clive Ward sells them, I understand he is very obliging, if you are within travelling distance of him you could maybe meet up and he would be able to demonstrate,
Cheers

I have had a thermal spotter now for a good few years and know how they work. but not a scope like the one you have I am just wanting to know more about the one you have. And how good it is.
Thanks Pete.

Hi Pete,
All I can tell you is I am employed as a gamekeeper on a low ground shoot. Fox control is a main part of my job. Using a normal roof mounted spotlight on my Land Rover, I would shoot between 20-30 foxes in a year. By the time I got to January, foxes were becoming increasingly difficult to catch up with using this method. You would get a blink of a foxes eyes 2 fields away and it was off, never to be seen again, very frustrating. I started using infra-red which did help but also had its limitations, foxes do see infra-red, so if there were 2 together, you shot 1, next time out this fox would know what infra-red was, it too would take off or if you missed 1, next time it saw infra-red, it would be off and yes...we all miss sometimes. I personally did not like the throw back of infra-red light with vegetation. I started using thermal both the Pulsar HD50S spotter and the WT1 75-3 rifle scope, so in that first year 61 foxes were accounted for, so far this year we are up to 46 with still 3 months to go, so as you can see there is a big difference using this method for me. Animals do not see thermal, it has a greater field of view, quicker to spot something living, no light throwback off vegetation, greater magnification than infra-red.
The WT1 75-3 has digital mag x 6/12/24 using the 6x mag for picking up the fox, then zooming up to 24x for the shot. The image clarity is not good at 24x, but you have already ascertained it is a fox so you are really shooting at a blurred image on the 24x zoom. The reticle is always white, so you have to change to black hot polarity or you can change the colour palettes to suit. 75mm F1 lens with internal focus, shutterless thermal core which needs no calibration which means switch on and shoot.
Pete all details can be found on internet, but I hope this helps you understand why I prefer the WT1 to any infra-red
