Hi Everyone
A Happy New Year to you all.
I would like to pose a question to you regarding night vision
My present setup is
Tikka t3 Super Varmint .222Rem
Swarovski 8x56 Habicht
Nightmaster 800 with extension and red led
Cree xml-t6 with white LED and red filter for scanning
So far, I have been really happy with the setup, being able to identify Mr Fox
by eye at good range and by 100 % identification at around 300 mts or so.
Most of my shots are in the 100-150mt range and most of my foxing is solo on foot.
OK, the question.
With the success that I am experiencing with my setup, do those who have used the recent digital setups
feel that the benefit is worth the changeover,cost and hassle of having what is essentially a dedicated setup?
Looking at the Yukon Photon and such like, they seem to do well but are they all that they say.
I'd be keen to hear any comments that anyone who has used the kit,cares to make.
I know you only get what you pay for,but how much do you need to pay to get a deal of satisfaction.
I've just been reading Paddy_SP's book, 'A Foxers Year' and its really got me thinking......Brilliant read Paddy well done !!!
Thanks Guys
All the best
Alan
