Pitch Black Hunter Night Vision

[Matt Smith 143]

I'm 'thinking' about night vision and there's a few routes to go.

 

For a fat lad I've got spaghetti arms so the thought of something like a nitesite NS is off putting (not totally out of the question though) as I'm guessing they weigh a lot (let me know if I'm wrong) plus I think they're really overpriced.

 

The idea of something like a Yukon doesn't really appeal to me either.

 

Now comes the Pitch Black Hunter, weird looking, Yes! 5 hour battery life, excellent distance and only as heavy as the scope you're taking off are a huge plus though.

 

Has anyone here used one?

 

The 'it's shit because it doesn't look like a scope' comments I've seen elsewhere are just stupid IMO. If it works, it works, if it doesn't tell me why it doesn't.

 

If I was to go down the DIY route, what sort of money would I be looking at spending?

To be fair Matt if you want the Diy route then you can achieve 100 yards easy with a cheapish camera sceen setup and can cost as little as £100. As for the Nite site they weigh bugger all and are great bits of kit. But take a look at the Photon mate nearest to a scope as you can get natural head posistioning and from what i hear they are great for the money some good vids on youtube also. As for the pitch black cant help yes looks interesting but if it works it works as you say. I can send some links to home builds if you are interested or join nightvisionforumuk loads of info on there mate. ATVB Aaron

Hey Aaron, I joined that site last night but to be honest, I don't know where to start :s

 

If you can send me those links that would be fantastic!

 

Thanks for the info.
