ND3x50 Laser Designator

Hmm not entirely helpful or very informative. Fair bit of rhetoric and general bad grammar which doesn't fill me with any confidence of an objective opinion.

 

The other link above, (all 18 pages) are based on the ND3, which is the older and much less powerful model. However, with the exception of comments against the temperature issue, it's mostly positive comments.

 

Have a look at the other post on Led Lights that has an article from Gun Mart I found.

I'm thinking of investing in one of these for foxing. Has anyone got any experience of it?

 

I've tried a gun-mounted lamp, but it didn't work very well, and it looks like for the first time these things get you close to Gen iii night vision without splashing out thousands. The big benefit over night vision, is you can use it with good quality scope. The latest model is claiming target illumination up to 500yds.

 

Its about £330 in the UK.

As I've said, no personal experience of it, and just wonder if anyone has had a go with this equipment - certainly looks good and getting widely used in the States.

 

Its got a cracking write-up in Gunmart for use with fox control.

 

Its nothing like Gen3 NV. i think your best bet is to spend your cash and find out for yourself. just remember to take a hot water bottle out with you to keep it warm.

There's been a question or two about these units on here and other sites, and I did consider them, as I lamp alone and I wanted to reduce the weight I was carrying, but still be able to shoot out to at least 250 yards.

I went for a Tiablo A10G, in the end, and I'm very happy with it. I did add a deben scope mount (as the one that comes with it is a bit fiddly), and fitted my own rocker switch which I attach to the fore-end with elastic bands.

The beam is very tight, and I can positively identify foxes to well over 250 yards, and you don't notice any difference in weight when it's on the rifle, and it's small and neat, not snagging or catching on bushes etc when the rifles slung over my shoulder. Once it's aligned, I can attach it to the scope in total darkness and it's still centred. I spot with a Yukon ranger pro then switch to the tiablo to shoot (it's on my 243).

All in all I give it a definite thumbs up.

 

 

+1 on everything Kenny14 says, I think we bought our torches at nearly the same time and these torches are well worth the money and l have absolutely no regrets in having bought one.

 

ps sorry bout the link didn't realise it was for the older model

What's the battery life like on these Tiablo lights ?

What's the battery life like on these Tiablo lights ?

 

I have one and l remember reading that its 45 mins with a one battery for the single battery compartment or 1 hour and a half with two batteries with the battery compartment extension. Tbh l have never tested these specs myself as l never time the on periods of the torch its just something l remember reading about the torch when researching it before l bought it.
