plonker dave Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Which one is best , sounds like the drone but are they available ...Don't hold your breath!If and when the new batch arrives,first choice is given to the people that paid for the last one but had a refund as they were sent back to usa. Might be a long wait. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montey Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have both DPs my mate has the 870 he wishes he'd waited for a drone its a no brainier were out all year round . Both need the nm800 fitted to get the best out of them. So does the 870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Miller Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 My add-on is almost the same standard as an 870 by all accounts. Save, wait, buy the Drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsc1960 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 got both drones, Â the first one is for sale as I'm using the new one as of Monday next week nothing wrong with my old one I just wanted the new one, Â IMO I think it's the best digital rifle,scope on the market, I have been trying to get used to a thermal spotter but find it hard to use as my eyes for some reason don't like the display, but the drone is cracking, Â stick a t67 on it and you will be amazed, I use the sunnranger as I have neck issues and need to keep,the weight down but I still,shoot out past 350 yards with the first drone and hope to do,the same with the new one, Â Bob.

visiter1 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 drone pro everytime even if its just the mark1 still miles better than the pulsar!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Whats this Snipercam system I see on the market, looks like it just converts your everyday sight to NV. Mind it only looks like one guy trading from what appears to be his house is behind the product. Is SNIPERCAM a comparable product ?. I hasten to add I know very little about NV having been badly caught maybe 20 years ago. Â A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hasten to add I know very little about NV having been badly caught maybe 20 years ago.  A Sniper cam is not in the same league as the Drone. Snipercam is an "add-on" in that it temporarily fits onto the end of your existing scope for use at night while still allowing the use of the scope as normal for daytime shooting. DIY add-ons are common in the NV community and are the cheapest way to get into night vision shooting. The best of these add-ons is the Ward D-700 The Drone Pro is a "dedicated" sight - i.e it is fitted permanently onto the rifle. It's night vision performance is as good as it gets for a digital system and it's dawn and dusk performance knocks high end riflescopes like Swaro and Zeiss out of the park. However, for daytime use it's not as good as a traditional glass riflescope, although perfectly usable. If you want to learn about Night Vision as it applies to shooting then I strongly suggest you go to http://www.nightvisionforumuk.com/index.php  Cheers  Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWShooter Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 For what Drones cost you can buy a good Russian tubed G2+ , better than any digital NV http://www.thomasjacks.co.uk/pulsar/product.asp?ref=1052 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox 1 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 The thing is S W Shooter, with using a digital scope you can use a screen in your truck and the driver can watch what you are doing, I have the pulsar 870 with range finder on it. with this set up you can see fox,s, two to three hundred yards no problem, mind you I put the pulsar double lens on it and bingo clear as a bell.

Good point but image quality is much sharper with G2+ , I `m usually on my own and on Shanks`s Pony with a Thermal imager in hand . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWShooter Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Don't agree with that We all have our opinions but I have used both side by side on the same night in the field , it is generally accepted that some digital NVDs are slightly better than G1 but not as good as G2 or G2+.

rsc1960 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 well I have had a G 3 dedicated scope I also had a Pvs 14 that I sold to a forum member, Â and to be honest I prepare the drone pro 10x with a sunnranger on top, then again I can't get on with thermal image spotters either I just find that the image from them is to rough around the edges, Â as you say we all have our own opinions, so I'll stick to the drone pro.

Offroad Gary Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Me neither tis funny though how the Mob dont use digital NV. Or hand loaded ammunition.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Me neither tis funny though how the Mob dont use digital NV. It's really not very difficult to work out why the mob don't use digital, may well come in the future though when much more sensitive sensors become availble.

Montey Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Not used gen2 but use mk1and mk2 Drone all the time the advantage I would imagane is you can use the digital in day light rite up to when its dark. They beet any high end scope I've got for shooting in low light.the Drones are realy easy to zero but do need a good IR which some foxs do pick up on.
