Have you compared the 75-3 against the 75-6 - Big jump in price wondered if its worth the extra?
640 resolution offers a LOT more detail, at the loss of some magnification.

The difference is £350 so just over 10% more? I would say that's good for a better performing scope, with better image quality, better magnification and a transferable warranty!
O sorry didn't realise we were talking about importing stuff, Clive's back up and service is my priorityNo, by today's rates E3400 is £2840 so the hike is £910 ie. 32%
I use a Quantum HD50 for spotting and an Archer for taking the shot. I did look into replacing the Archer with thermal but have issues using thermal only. Yes, with the thermal I can see the difference between a fox and a badger at say 150 yds but I would challenge any dedicated thermal user to easily distinguish a fox at 150 yds with the farm collie - its bad enough spotting a cat at 70 yds thinking it is a fox. I expect that some people have already made this mistake but have kept it to themselves.
Sorry but thermal does not give positive ID like night vision does IMO
Which thermal scope did you try out of interest?
Thanks

Yeah... but you wouldn't just blat away at it without observing the movement to confirm what you're looking at? Experience, knowledge and, ultimately, confidence come with use with any TI kit.....
With a 75-3 we're talking about a lot more detail than the Quantums provide.

Fizz - Experience, knowledge. Been fox shooting 30+ years, shoot on average 80 per year and had my Quantum 4 years. I stand by my comparison of a fox and collie - a collie at 150 yds wandering around a field will look the same as a fox - don't know whether the 75-3 could easily distinguish the difference as I have never looked through one.

There's no doubt that the sight picture produced by a thermal spotter or scope is very different from that produced by traditional NV kit.
Totally agree Bruce it's about training the eye. Id urge people to look through Clive's wt1 75-3 it's an eye opener.
