Yukon Ranger. *SORTED*

[boro]

I am looking for a Yukon Ranger and just posted this up to see if any of the members knew of any going???? Otherwise its the big bad shop.

You need to be pretty sure of what you're buying, matey.
The resolution is approximately the same as older Gen 2
The Light amplification is a little bit better than most Gen 1
The built-in IR torches are very, very good though.

I found the Ranger needs to be focussed precisely otherwise the image is unreadably soupy.
Finally, I cut out a small disk of Green Gel film (a la theatrical stage lights) and inserted it into the eyepiece, because the screen is so damn bright it wrecks your eye's night-adjustment.

Unless you are totally sure that you can live with these foiables, I would recommend against spending £300 on one.
I'd sell mine, but would feel like I was robbing you if I took £150 for it.

The Armasight Spark is by far better.



eBay has some great stuff on it this week, it may cost more than a Ranger, but you gets what you pays for, if you knows what you pays for is cheap for what it is... if you knows what I mean.

Thanks for the helpful advice but I would still like one. £100. Sounds like a punt????

[Jeggie]

They are generally better than Gen 1 gear, so if you can find one for £100 go for it.

[boro]

No, i was offering that for yours, maybe 150 as the review was a bit wanting???

If you connect one to a screen you'll get a better picture.... but if you're going down that route there are better cameras about.

If you do a search on ranger pro on here you should get to the thread on remote mounted stuff to get a good idea of what's what, ditto on the airgun bbs and on uk varminting.

But as a pair of standalone binos they're a faff to get right.
