scottcountry Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi George Have a read of Sporting Rifle this month, they have a review of the Quantum. As for detection it will "detect" a man sized object in ideal conditions up to 950m away but realistic recognition distance on a fox sized object would be approx 400m Lots of videos on You Tube etc I would also recommend the HD50S which is the new model.

yarns Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 George I have the 38s TI, and would not be without it. Detection/Recognition ranges are as Paul stated. In fact I think he is being alittle conservative,because at times with careful adjustment of the brightness and contrast controls I am picking up bunnies at 350m and foxes out to 450m+. In my opinion it is a brilliant piece of gear,easy to use both in daylight and nighttime.It opens up a whole new spectrum when observing wildlife, including the two legged variety! Kind regards............Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonepoppy Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi George I use a 38s spotting for a mate with a longbow and the pair are matched well,The 38 will spot in hedges,long grass and around woods giving early warning of incoming foxes well before the night vision, Best toy yet!

Florin Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 hi, We have been using a HD38s for 14 months and it has transformed our nightly foxing forays. In decent cold and clear conditions you can spot a fox at 600 yds and roe out to 1,000. It is an excellent bit of kit and if you need to be covert then only way forward, ie if you have very lamp shy foxs. Quarry id takes a while the first time you see a fox at close range it looks like a lynx as little heat from the tail. Sheep are well insulated, horses and cattle glow. The critical bit is using it to spot potential quarry then ID it with NV and we use a Drone Pro on a custom .204. With this you can take foxs at 200 yds but rarely need to do so as Thermal lets you get much closer. Excellent for spotting deer in thick cover/grass, must be of considerable help to fallow stalkers. On stubble you can see a rat at 100yds, birds in trees and transformers well over 1,000 yds. I understand little difference between it and 50s. Only thing they could do to improve it is to increase the mag. One tip use it on the lowest intensity as you will ruin (temporarily) your night vision. You need the external battery pack which will last for months. Hope this helps D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsteve Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Out with a mate this weekend I spotted a fox walking through tall grass through the thermal in the afternoon.. Told my mate to get ready and squeaked her out. Sorted with the 308.. One we couldn't even see! Atb Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
