night vision scope recommendations

[kenbro]

Hi,
How is it that the Chinese can deliver these sights while others who ordered (The same thing) through Pro Optics find our orders ostensibly stuck in a facility to see if they comply with regulations?
Do the Chinese get preferential treatment?
Ken.

Nice. Maybe had some at their warehouse in Upminster. Or maybe like mine it’s is getting delivered there. Then they send it to you. Either way. It’s still pretty quick

Hi,
Quick being subjective

If you order from china do they have to go back if there is a problem?

Just trying to decide where to order from

Hi,
I ordered from Pro Optics and it will be worth the wait.
Rather give the business to a “Local” firm.

So it's arrived



It is very compact



Makes the DS35 look huge - initial impressions are it feels very well made and I'm impressed with image quality (only tried daylight so far)

Fit like Bruce.
will you have one at the Schivas night vision event on friday ?

What is the point of have 35 Moa in a mount for a short ish range sight?
Cheers, Ken.

Surely canted mounts are of greater benefit to low velocity lopped air and rimfire rifles. many scopes have in excess of 100 MOA so 35 MOA mounts can greatly help if you want to stretch their legs a little.

Both models of the Arken Zulus will be there - with and without LRF

Cheers

Definitely specially after the latest pile of crap came out with

Id be very interested in any footage or thoughts on foxing when you get cracking, its all bloody rats at the minute!

I'm hoping to get out at the weekend and will give feedback

The DS35 works well on foxes at 160m using built in IR. Zulus is reportedly better than that.

Lot cheaper than £600

For me not having LRF on .223 is not an issue - my thermal spotter has LRF and foxing shots are normally between 100 and 160m

Saving £140 on an additional NV scope was how I justified it to myself

 

[Dari]

I am well aware of limitations when using digital NV in fogy conditions. But if I remember correctly HIKMICRO Cheetah should have some kind of IR balance mechanism to prevent image whiteout when using it in fog.

Does this new Zulus also have something similar?

Cheers

Hi,
Did any SD members ( Besides me) order a Arken Zulus via the link that Bruce posted, if so has anyone received theirs yet.
I got an email (No name to it) 10 days ago saying ‘Will check which batch yours is in tomorrow’.
Since then no comms. .
Ken.
