For years now i have been using Nitecore 123a rechargeable batteries in my Drone pro's, ive found them better than using the standard batteries, ie last weeks if your only switching on for a shot at fox, and should you forget to turn it off and run the batteries flat (which doesn't take long in...

Although i do use a solaris laser with mine, i would think it will work more than good enough with that torch that Ian supplies with it, i say that because mine will also work well with a B22 torch ie 200-300 yds, full field of view (which you don't get with any of the best lasers). I have...

Hi AJ Good advise here, i personally would go with the 4-16 over the 3-12 as the extra magnification is there if you need it, but for air rifle range's the 3-12 will give slightly more field of view. My advise is to definitely go for side focus, (1) your hand won't be blocking the i/r...

Sorry cannot do links but if you go on y-tube, "how to develop a long range amo load in 12 shots " by " Elevation rifles" ------his starting seating depth is 20,000 off. Dave (warbucks)

Hi Patrick. I've done all my rabbit shooting with n/v add on's (ATM pard 007 v) but if i was buying again it would be the DNT zulus v2 5-20 lrf. Any of your selection would be fine, and at 100m its more or less point-n-shoot. All my rabbit shooting is on foot off quad sticks, i can be lifting...

You need to turn the screen brightness to a level your happy with while still getting the range performance you need. As for foxes spooking on light, if they have been hunted before it will be the red glow of your i/r that will spook them rather than the light spill on your face, but this should...

From my experience with cheap VCEL's they give a "dirty n/v picture", if your only wanting to spend sub £50, your better off with something like a Blacksun B22, or similar. Dave (warbucks)

How are you lads using these's thermal?night vision rifle scopes vermin shooting ? I would have thought that spotting the quarry with the thermal part first, then id-ing it and shooting it with n/v would get the best out of such a unit ? With what i see on y-tube -----it seems than people just...

Because the height adjustable rings raises or lowers the scope and therefore the position of the range finder box (up/down) ---------as it would the scopes zero height. Colin G above can range find up to full 28 mag. Dave (warbucks)

First of all thanks to everyone thats replied to this thread. Because i have played back the last two missed shot recordings i known the crosshairs were on target, there was no wind, so the missed shots were either the rifle, or the Alpex. Its interesting what Donkey Basher has said about his...

Yes scope is a Alpex 4k lrf. Stock screws, weaver rail and scope mounts and moderator all tight. I've never had 100% confidence, in this 22-250 when using Drone Pro or c50 but a cuple of years ago i re fitted the Hawke sidewinder to check grouping and it was doing 1/2" groups at 100 yds off...

When i developed a load for my 22-250 using hornady 50g v-max i ended up with an overall length being 16 thou off the lands, after a few years of use now i have worn 24thou off the lands. In use mainly sub 200 yds foxing, most of what i point at is a clean kill, but i have had some shots that...

Hi Chris, this is what i would advise you to buy New. Ive had several cz hmr's from new, if and when i buy again, it will be the Tikka t1x. Over the last 20 years i've shot thousands of rabbits over several different permissions with the hmr's -----which to me is the best rabbiting gun...

Hi Jagged 77 If your wanting it for mainly foxing and last light stalking IMO it has the be the Alpex and get it with lrf. Ive owned most of the top night vision's over the years, and to me the Alpex lrf is just so good its de-valued the pvs 14's Archers, Drone pro's. When the black friday sale...

Hi Dave. A few years ago (before the vcsel lasers) i had a pvs14 pinnical, these were amongst the best at that time, when i moved on to a Drone pro i sold it. Pvs 14's, Archers are still good but there not perfect, and should the tube go there not economical to repair so scrap I've had lots of...
