Night Vision

[eric]

Hi what level of accuracy can be achieved with a dedicated top of the range night vision ? ( ie group size ) thanks Eric.

[grahamfarmer]

could be governed a bit by what size barn door you use to zero it on

Out to 100 yard,s half inch to one inch should be the norm, over that distance and it gets harder as you will be using 6 x magnification.

[garyw]

depends on what kit you have add-on or dedicated.

myself i use add-on on my .17rem with 20gn vmax does all i want it to.this is gen111-mil spec.

Graham. Trust you. smart ass Eric.

I too use an add-on,and it groups at what the rifle groups at..no different.

Like mentioned previously (for dedicated NV Scopes) it depends largely on what generation it is. I think Gen III is the most you can get outside of the states. Gen IV is strictly verboten for export due to ITAR issues, and some interesting things that have turned up over in the sand box and rock box...

They are very good units, the cross hair is superb and can be adjusted so that's it's almost see through, as I said earlier, sub 1 inch at 100 yards should be the norm and a lot less is very possible.

 

I think I'm correct in saying that the 165 Centuar is pretty much the same unit as the Dedal 760/480.

Hi Eric,

 

On my .223 using one of our SM3S2 6x HG scopes I get exactly the same group size as I do with a day scope on it, 1/2 MOA with 36grn varmint grenades and 3/8 MOA with 40grn V Max.

 

Tricky bit with a night scope is getting a really fine point to aim at. I use an 8mm dia circle of self adhesive retroreflector material. With a tiny bit of IR you can place the shot very precisely.

 

 

Cheers
