treecreeper 1,136 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 All range finders should work in the dark the problem is seeing what your pointing it at. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Phillips 36 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 So i have a Nikko Stirling laser range finder. And it does work at night.... However.....good luck reading the LCD! You have to aim it at the moon to read it or shine it at your phone screen immediately afterwards. And like treecreeper mentioned. It's a bitch to aim as you can't see the dot!

villaman 9,979 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 What you need is a night vision range finder but I don't know if they do one yet , saying that the new pulsar N870 got one attached to it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Stott 202 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I use a Maglite and my eyes. Taped onto the rifle, shine it around a field then shoot at what you see. If you have guessed the range right. Well, its dead! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that's a No no Dave Sorry Dave I said it in jest, at my age the only thing I do in the dark is sleep. I don't "get" this night vision stuff, never have really. Dawn and dusk has always suited me. That and I am scared of the dark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David.evans 5,323 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Fair play John If you do fancy having a go then a t20 mounted on your scope is a great way forward Using the torch , your mill dot ranges won't change . And it's a diffrent experance shooting at nite Atb Dave 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it's a diffrent experance shooting at nite Atb Dave Thanks David. I did try it a few times, foxing years back. I have trouble with my eyes and find night vision quite difficult to maintain. Something to do with focus, lights not a problem, and I do use an illuminated reticle on one scope for bad light. I find myself moving back onto older ways now though, I like irons. Although use the scopes for killing stuff, as you point out woundings a no, no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
