welcome you lot.
-
Just out of interest how does the side mounted torch go when walking and using it as a spot light?
Does it interfere with the sight pitcher in the scope?
-
Thanks guys. I think ill run with the H7R. I like the idea of the 2 options of battery. They also get a good feed back rating. Thanks for the input. Also available in OZ.
-
Thanks guys.
I notice that 2 of these lights dont have a top strap on them does that cause any problems with them moveing about?
PETZL TACTIKKA Plus ADAPT Headlamp w/Red Head Lamp NEW

Im after a light bright head mounted lamp.
Can any one point me in the right direction to find one.
Not to worried about the cost.
Trying to butcher game in the dark is a real pin if you cant see well enough.
So this thing needs to flood an area of about a SQ metre.
Its number one use will be for butchering game.
I have seen some that have 67 leds, but they weigh 3 or more OZ.
These things also take Chineese batteries, so our AAs are a bloody tight fit in them.
Yep Chineese batteries, AAs are smaller than ours.
Any sort that will do the job folks.

That new guy i spoke about has the pelican cases, $350.00 from memory.
-
I think its worth it.
For the more serious hunter,you would need to spend bigger money.
I Use it just to check the distance.
For example, From a flat position across a gully then up an inclined hill.
It is not easy to pick a distance like that.
Thats where they they make things easy.
No problems with it at all.
But as i said the finish on it made it slippery.
The new model has a non slip cover.

Im watching with great interest a thread which is on AHN.
These guys are doing what we were aiming at.
But in a different way.
If its rabbits you want just keep in mind just how far you face will be from the scope.
Thats with a head mounted N/V. It is possible and has been done.
Which is fine with a 22, but not with the big calls.
Having said that i intend to try my head mount out with the 223 and a bipod. It will work, how good is another thing.
But my head mount is not one you can buy off the shelf.
Ill go as far to say there are only 2 in this country.

Look to be honest you need to chat with David about the off the shelf stuff.
You will find him in past posts on N/V. Send him a PM.
We have head mounted N/V, but its not what you can get off the shelf.
Keeping in mind your budget, the stuff we have is way above that.
And its built from different things that are on the market then turned into what we want.
The market sells Gen 1 and 2 in most cases. And invented 10 years ago.
They work ok for some things.
What did you want to do with it?
I have a Pigmy N/V that i may sell, but its a hand held thing.
Best bet is to have a chat to David when it comes to off the shelf stuff, im serious when i say he knows his stuff.
All the best with it.

LASER RANGE FINDER FOR GOLF & HUNTING JCS602 1500 m 7x ZOOM SCAN
Mine didnt have the cover on it, so i stuck 3mm rubber over it.Just to slippery without it.

Mate have a good look around.
I got a cheap job off ebay for under a $100.00 bucks.
The paper work with it says it will spot deer @ 450yards.
It works and im happy with it.
-
I delt with them years ago.
I found them easy to work with.
This was in the era of carbide tips being put on saw blades.
I might pop in for a look see its just up the road.

Yer mate they were in the boat box.
I normally put them in the boat when i head out.
But its the first time i have put a floatation box in the boat.
After last years efforts everything is in that box.
They were under the camo wraps.
It had me beat where i had left them as im pretty fussy about them.
Cam rekons i should keep the new ones as im sure to lose them again.
Little sh!t.
I just laughed when i found them, i was after a screw driver to set the N/V to zero.
Picked up the camp wraps and there they were.
They are a good bit of kit.

Brand new unused still in the box 10 X 50 Black rubber coated.
Recommended retail on this box is $639.96.
I have seen others for sale at above $700.00.
Im after $300,00 for the Binoculars.
And $40.00 for the camo harness that i got for them.
Selling as a set.
Pick up in Melbourne, or postage costs will apply.
Carson make great scopes as well as binos.
I have been more than happy with the Carson brand.
Pm me if your interested.
-
always got refunds
No mate it was ebay i saved just on $500.00 LMAO.
Its got me beat how some places can mark things up as much as they do.
Aloth the harness is rubbish compared to the other one.
-
Thats a great idea. Pity you didnt speak up sooner
My new ones turned up yesterday.
-
I find the 10 X 50 Carsons suit me best of all.
They come with adjustable eye relief.
Those others Cam are whats left over from trying to find a set that suited my eyes.
If i had my time over i would go visit a place that has all makes on the shelf.
Then decide.
-
which ones? you got too many for me to remeber whats what
I looked at some big black ones they looked pretty good..
but that was after id bought my ones
They are all black mate X 3.
The Carsons are the ones you had a peek through.
Rubber coated.
-
Na ill stick with Carson.
All up now on retail price im in for over a K.
Cause some idiot left them on the bow of a boat.
Must have been the cute blue and white car that distracted me.
I thought you liked mine Cam?

An upright Brown Built cabnet.
About 6 foot high or more,
Bee 300mm wide and 400 deep there abouts.
I might even have a key for it, if not its easy to get one cut off the number.
This was my original gun safe years ago i then put shelf's in it and turned it into my ammo storage.
It then became to small for the ammo, but it does still have the shelf's in it.
It will be a pick up from Cheltenham.
First in gets it.
I want it gone or it goes in the hard rubbish.
PICK UP ONLY.
Cheers.

Cams gear fogs up due to Adrenalin.
I watched him carry a baby and check out a wallow LMAO.
That spot has been hot but from what i seen but its not now.
I hope im wrong mate.
Ill own up to this my Speed Glass Helmet fogs up inside the inner lens.
But im not about to spend $1500.00 on an air filterer and blower at my age.
I just blame my glasses cause i cant see.

What is the true cost of a head mounted unit? Due you use it with a scope on the 22?
Im sure the unit i use is around 4K.
But is not an off the shelf unit.
Its special in as much that the guts inside it is the best available to civilians.
Head Mounted Lamp.

The H7r turned up today.
To sum it up in one word, it would have to be unreal.
It is just what i wanted.
Thanks for the input folks.
