You definitely need a laser for the X sight
IMHO there are the best (in order of preference):
Sirius XTL from IRLightbuilds
Solaris SRX from Blackwood Outdoors
Black Sun dark engine from the Night Vision Store

Thanks Bruce.

No mention of the DFK or the new one from
Ludicrous Lumens or the PBIR? or do you not have any info on those.

Thanks again,

Geoff.

Is that LED or Laser?
I think I should get the Laser type as per Bruce's recommendation. Unless you advise differently when using with the X-Sight?


Cheers,

Geoff.

I have no personal experience of the DFK or LL illuminators so I can't give recommendation.
I do have extensive experience with those that i mentioned and am happy to recommend them.

Depends what you want it for.

I’ve been using one of these

https://www.precisionnightvision.com/pr ... cope-mount

for a month or so now with my X Sight II HD. It on my .22LR and FAC Air Arms. £35 and gives a very good picture at LR/Air rifle ranges ie<100yards. It’s not as powerful as an SRX (I have one of these too) much better than a LED torch and more than adequate for ratting and rabbiting.
