Thermal (heat sensing). Read all the threads in the thermal section. Buy once, cry once.

Best commercial digital monocular: Pulsar X870.

Plenty of good quality options there Baldy, so now comes the hair pulling dilemmas - erm or maybe not. :lol:

I'd feel awful if a buyer finds out they cannot use one of my rigs after they get it - which is why my sales posts are so long and photo heavy.

I think its safe to assume that at least one of those 6 scopes would have an illuminated reticule module on the eyebell which would rule out my scope adaptors. Then there is the possible need for high scope mounts on the centrefire's to avoid bolt drawback fouling.

That might help narrow it down at least a little. :angel:

Hi Baldy,

It's addictive and turns into a bit of an arms race I warn you!

I started off 14 years ago with a Gen1 dedicated scope, then added a laser illuminator to get some range, then a more powerful laser.

Then the bug bit.

So it was on to a Gen2 dedicated scope, then higher end dedicated scopes.

Then having several high end dedicated scopes on a few rifles, along with a digital add on.

Then replacing the high end dedicated scopes with a thermal dedicated scope.

Currently it's a digital add on which gets little use now because of a small thermal rifle scope for the rimfires and a big boy thermal rifle scope for the centre fires. :thumbup:

Plenty to learn here and plenty of guys willing to help out. :thumbup:

But I too concur, from what you say if you like the screen based NV, then Some Blokes unit should be just the ticket if it suits your day scopes. :thumbup:


Cheers





Clive
