HI Doug, thermal scopes(the short light weight ones), which would you recommend that actually gives a good recognizable visual of your pray up to 40 meters that I could purchase for around £1,000 . so many on the market are just a white hot blur in the viewer. Great entertaining shows by the way, cant wait to see more thanks.
Hi Vince, thanks for appreciating my shows, I really must get back into the swing of doing them more regularly. To answer your question, I'll start off by saying that I'm probably not the best person to ask as I only use one piece of thermal kit, namely a Pulsar Axion 30 spotter. I assume that since you specified 40m in your question, you are talking about use with a sub 12ft/lb air rifle ? For my own part, I would have a hard time justifying the cost of a thermal scope for a sub 12ft/lb rifle, given the effectiveness of the current range of IR night vision out there (for a fraction of the price of thermal). For my own pest control, I use the Pard range of IR units on all my rifles, namely the N007SP LRF and an N008 LRF, which is permanently attached to my CZ .17HMR. If you are looking for a thermal scope for £1000, I think your choices are very limited if buying new. The only one I am aware of near that price is the Infiray SAIM. I don't know much about them myself, but they can be seen on the Scott Country website. To sum up, from my own perspective, I love my Axion 30 for spotting and although a thermal scope would be a "nice to have", I couldn't justify the additional cost, over the kit I already use, which is very effective out to around 200m with supplementary IR illuminator.
Great shooting 👍
