Hi guys..... Well here's another post for you from the adventures of me n wor kid. Some may have read in another thread that I've been getting myself a new NV unit (review to follow) so we went out on Friday night to get it zeroed and do a bit of ratting at our stables permission. After a diversion from my usual route to wor kids due to roadworks I arrived, loaded gear into the van and headed off. 35 mins later we hit the plot. Straight into the stables to zero. After a couple of mags making sure I was on the button the NV was sorted and it was time for the action. Well..... What acti

I meant Infra red on NIght vision mate, not the illuminated reticle on a normal scope Darryl

Since I've had the NV unit I've noticed a few times along with both wor kid and DavyT63 that when scanning a field with the NV + addon IR even in more or less total darkness that rabbits still give it legs. Even when the normal code of practice for fieldcraft have been followed e.g slow movement, downwind, no cast of shadows etc they react as though they can see the IR. Ive done a bit of searching and can only find this.... Like most crepuscular/nocturnal mammals, rabbits are not very sensitive to red or long-red wavelengths, and they should not be bothered at all by an infrared light

Its a cracking bit of kit mate,first impressions are good! went out last night but never really saw or got close enough to anything worth taking a shot at, full moon and thick haw frost made the going difficult, going out again tonight so hopefully it will be more productive. I'll post a review tomorrow Darryl

yes mate...used to use them in my S10 till I had the barrel done now the new barrel doesnt like them Darryl

the built in is good for 30m or so depending on the conditions mate an add-on will definately enhance the view though and also give you greater detection range Darryl

I'll say it before anyone else does mate..... best thing is to get out and get knocking mate! Permissions arent going to come to you, we're all in the same boat! Darryl p.s Welcome to THL

Si the eye relief is like that due to the rubber eyepiece and is actually quite comfortable, any further forward and it didn't feel "natural", it seemed as though I needed to put more effort into aiming tvan is needed I was thinking of putting it on the BSA but it is so well matched to the "old" tascos and hasn't dropped zero once since I got them so I didn't want to spoil a good combo. I'll hopefully do a review this weekend if we actually manage to get out so keep posted Darryl
-
Yep I'll definately do a review once its been tried and tested mate! It weighs just short of 1kg mate Put a bit of weight on since then mate....I think just 1 arm weighs 20kg now....lol Pucker up big boy!!!!......lmao! Darryl

For sale is my VOMZ PNS-D 4.6x52 Night Vision Riflescope. OK it's an old unit.... an oldie but goodie. I'm only selling as I got a bargain in the way of a new night vision. Included in the sale are 2 brand new flip up scope caps and a rechargeable PP3 (9V) battery. It already had the dovetail mount fitted so will go on ANY air rifle with the standard dovetail fitting. Looking for £320 inc RMSD Next day Delivery. PM if interested. Pics of the actual unit..... Darryl

Here's photos of the actual unit as promised, and photos of it working.....

Bad crack that mate! Hope the guy rots in hell But as said above contact the plod and open a case. The police will/should contact paypal who will have his details. They will have a record of you paying the cash to him also. On another note if he actually has posted it he by law should have posted it to be signed for which would produce a tracking number as proof he actually posted it Next time for the sake of a few quid I'd pay the paypal fees Darryl -
Get down to your local surplus store and buy a scrim scarf Nice looking rifle you got there Rossy. Look after her mate Darryl

Just think.... In a few more posts time you'll be " one of us" too ;) Darryl

I dare to say you wouldn't go far wrong with a BSA R10. Average of 170-190 shots per fill and as accurate as they come. I had an Axsor had nothing but problems with it so took it back and swapped it for the S10 Depends on your budget I suppose but I'd definitely recommend the R10 Darryl
