ATN x sight 4K

[Silv8]

Hi guys,
Just wondering what IR’s are people using with the atn x sight 4K pro 5-20

Don’t want to buy something cheap as I don’t see much point in putting a cheap ir on a good nv scope

Recommendations please??

I don't have any personal experience of an IR illuminator, but suggest that you check on the Night Vision Forum (www.nightvisionforumuk.com). Pls note, you may have to join the forum.
There is a section dedicated to illumination on the web-site.
From what I've read, the current trend seems to be to use an IR laser (which the Dragonfly is) rather than an IR lamp as the lasers give more range & apparently are less likely to spook the quarry. However, if using a laser there are safety precautions to be observed in order to avoid possible serious eye damage.

Get yourself a Sirius XTL IR laser illuminator - in the words of the song - it's simply the best
They are built by Ian Sirrel, contact him via his facebook page IRLIGHTBUILDS

Go on Bruce, you also need to suggest ‘a good IR scope’ to put it on!

I kinda presumed the OP had already bought an x Sight 4K so suggesting that the PARD NV008 would be a better buy never crossed my mind

Cheers

I agree 100% with Bruce, """"Get yourself a Sirius XTL IR laser illuminator - in the words of the song - it's simply the best

you can read my comprehensive report on the 4K ATN on my previous threads.

I also understand via "Cliff" that Ian has recently modified his illuminator slightly to produce a rounder beam rather than square beam to better match the ATN 4K pro.
