kenny14 656 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Mine's an old model too, and as I've said in ideal conditions Foxes are identifiable at 500+ yards. Everyone who's used digital N.V will know that it takes a bit of getting used to, and this debate has made me wonder whether some people's eyes are maybe more adaptable to coping with digital N.V images. .

I wont disagree that the older units are better than the current ones. I've tested older units and you can see a clear differens to the newer unit.. I think the CCD has been changed thats cheaper = more profit. I'm arguing my point as the owner of a newer unit that i add has been returned to Thomas Jacks twice, and replaced with two different units.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mr fudd 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 yukon ranger is what you want second hand around £180-£200 ish maybe a bit cheaper but your going to need a decent laser illuminator to get out to foxing distance, an N1000 £120 ish will do 200 yards as already stated but i had a dipol L2 £200 ish sat underneath mine and with some tweaking i used to get out to 300 yards (measured) with ease on a clear night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
