Mines the pulsar axion 2 xq35. Av ad it ages , I think I paid about a £1500 ish.  But I think they a little bit dearer now. But can't fault it, it's bang on mate

I had a pulsar xq38, paid 2 grand or there about mate but I’ve now invested in the hik LH25. £1100 and it’s all you need . Don’t need to spend any more than that for lamping . You can see what’s in the next few fields no problem.

I’d say the clarity of the hik is just as good as my pulsar but the pulsars field of view was a bit wider but the hik is still more than enough

That's the one i got mate and i have not really tested it yet to give an honest opinion of it. One thing about it is the battery is sealed with in the device and i think the pulsars have a battery that can be changed easily that's got to be a plus i reckon..

I’ve looked about and can pick one up brand new for 550 what won’t break the bank like as long as they spot me game with for the runners it will do me fine the pulsar look good as well just more expensive atb longers01

To be honest mate if I had not had to fork out for a new boiler I would have gone for a higher end model probably the one Leo Sayer has got.

My hik isn’t a built in battery. Comes with a spare aswell  , I’d say you get about 5 hours out of a battery. I’ve took mine on a few walks, hour here couple hours there and it’s just on one bar left now

It must be on the lower end models but to be honest I haven't tried taking the battery out as their isn't a reason as you just charge it up wile it's in the unit.
