Not much use unless you have the "Thunder ultimate" ultimate scope with correct firmware or a Thunder designed to work in a country (e.g Germany) where themal scopes are illegal, but spotters are legal Try these bits on a standard Thunder and you won't have the "no reticle/shift image" option...

I don't believe there is any cost effective way to keep both the optical and thermal images continuously in focus Different wavelengths, different sensor sizes and different focal length lenses Cheers Bruce

A used thermal (or any used electronics) is only worth what the highest bidder is prepared to pay for it - and that fact is what frequently ****es off sellers Cheers Bruce

Contact Freeforester on here - he is Wrights of Huntly!! Cheers Bruce

FYI, I was talking to someone today who has inside knowledge on the current state of PARD in the UK and it's not good. Apparently the new distributor has been thrown out of their premises in Cornwall. The current stock has been seized, the director is going to court for various issues of non...

Don't touch any thermal made by PARD they're rubbish Cheers Bruce

All that's happening are sellers being ****ed off at you being a cheapskate :D Cheers Bruce

The add-on is a PARD 007 and going by the style of the objective lens I think the other is a no name NV scopes old by Custom Hunting (but no longer listed on their website) I seem to remember Russ Douglas and I testing a very similar scope maybe 3 or 4 years ago and deciding it just wasn't very...

308 is not a hard kicking calbre the alpex4k wiill be fine cheers Bruce

Common on 18650 and 21700 batteries now Just make the batteries are not too long the holder Cheers Bruce

The crankcase castings on these engines are thin so that the they when they leak just they just slosh thinned out superglue into them to make them seal Proper job - eh!!! Cheers Bruce

Only you can answer the question " is it good enough for me" For some people (like me) the answer is always no, but for some people it could be yes cheers Bruce

Just another piece of evidence that front add-ons are basically a bad idea Any device designed to do two jobs, rarely does either well Cheers Bruce

Magnification in an NV/ thermal is mainly down the physical size of the sensor and the focal length of the objective lens, where small sensors and/or long focal length lenses result in higher magnifications. Since the manufacturer decides both sensor and the lens to be used - you're stuck with...

Digital scopes (NV or thermal) don't suffer from parallax because the reticle is displayed directly onto the screen There is no physical separation between the display and the image of the reticle on the screen - therefore no parallax Cheers Bruce
