Nitesite Rangefinder

[philpot 4,925]

I bought a NiteSite rangefinder at the South Yorks Shooting Show at the weekend and tried it out tonight, what a game changer, superb bit of kit. Flat wheat stubble fields are tricky to judge distances at night and more so when shooting a little longer distances or at least they are to me and this unit does what it says on the tin and even better when I paid about £60 below normal retail price.

 

I might even save on pellet usage now

been using one for the past 18 month till I switched to thermal they are a great bit of kit but you could have got one off ebay for £135 or customrifflescopes for the same

Yes I have seen those Pav but then you need the fittings and where to mount when using a NiteSite Viper, this was not much more and is part of the main NV so very neat and suits my needs. I would have gone the CRS route had the price been retail at £250 but it was not so I am very happy.

Do they come with the adjustable mount for the viper Phil when I got mine the lad sent me a scope mounted weaver rail as I was using it on a photon and later on a ward add on they really are a great bit of kit

The NiteSite rangefinder has a bracket which clips directly onto the scope mount before fitting the NV so the whole unit stays firmly together. Tricky to explain so this might show it better Pav.

Davy & Si do well with one of those - there's some good footage of it being used on VHTV

Sounds good mate

I went out last night for a few bunnies and what a difference this unit made, one rabbit I was going to shoot at was actually just too far in reality but a little further down the farm lane, two rabbits presented themselves. The first was 66m and the second, 82m neither of which was special BUT the fact that I had holdover sorted ensured a clean head shot in each case.

 

Several others were taken at closer range but the precision of the shots knowing the exact distance made a huge difference. the power of the Impact .25 was already well known to me and the fact that it was rare any rabbit would even flinch when shot was normal but at night my accuracy was not all it could have been due to getting the holdover wrong but this stopped last night, clean head shots, fcuking brilliant ................................ finding the buggers was another matter however.

 

I will be glad when the thermal spotter arrives to put to the test and hopefully make picking up easier and at longer range it is a nightmare for me even on stubble, well in fact stubble can be even worse than grass in my opinion.

Over priced they only copied the ones of the NV forums then charge a fortune for them

I would like to hear your thoughts about the thermal though

[philpot 4,925]

Can't disagree Mitch and I wouldn't pay full retail and that is for sure despite it being very good.

 

Yep, really looking forward to getting my hands on the thermal spotters, hoping to get them before my hols but suspect they will not be ready by then.
