[pianoman 3,587]

Anyone know of any bargain basement Infra Red/Green Night Vision scopes folks?

[whippetboy 2]

just asking mate as i would not know where to start with anything to do with nv and did not want to spend money on something whats shit mate wb

[pianoman 3,587]

In that case you need a lamp with colour filters and a good, low-light efficient scope. Around 3-9x50 spec. Bushnell Banner is a beauty for not a lot of cash.

hi mate cant u get anything to put on scope with out having to use a lamp mate

Pianoman is right, for lamping any old £10 lamp from the petrol station will do, million candle power and a mate to hold it for you

 

Or for hands free something like a high powered torch that clips to your scope, personally Im a convert to LED type lights, they are so much more brighter than a traditional bulb, and the batteries last longer too. Im using a LED Lenser P7 gunmount kit, have been using it for a while now without filters and no problems, its more than enough for air rifle ranges when lamping.

 

There are some very good ones pretty cheap on ebay, I know a lot of guys that use the CREE torches, and they are dirt cheap, straight from China.

I have a 120 Lumens torch from Tesco that takes 2xAA batteries, is dimmable to 10%, fits in a torch holder that clamps to the scope, the beam is focusable as well! The torch was £25 from Tesco online, collected from a store, the torch holder was £10 from Michael Tawn and it works. Coloured filers, Quality Street! Rubber band round the torch and it works, cheap as chips and if you decide that night time lamping is not for you at least you get a decent torch out of it as well.

 

The field of illumination is great! Focused down you get about a 3 foot spread at 35 yards, if you pull it back to flood the spread is not as far in depth but opens up to about 20 feet at 20 yards! Great little torch, battery life is about 7 hours at full light output! Put up a post about it somewhere!

 

Edited to add mine is a Cree LED torch, Active Pro...

Here is my post!

And yes, you can do it without a lamp, but you're looking at spending several hundred quid as a starting price.

Carrots are no good, Davy. I've tried them and each time I tried to clamp them up they broke, I fear the build quality isn't up to much

[andyfr1968 772]

If you're after a decent reasonably cheap lamp, WB, have you considered a head torch?? I use a Led Lenser H7 and I really rate it, about £40 from ebay.

 

Cheers.

hi mate sort of range with that mate

[andyfr1968 772]

On full beam on minimum spread an easy 100 or so yards for spotting, then I turn down the beam strength and it's ideal for airgun ranges

 

It's very light and comfy to wear and the batteries last very well too. I'm probably the only bloke on here who still uses a head torch though!!
