Laser Illuminator

[londonhunter]

Hi

 

Can anybody advice

 

I am looking for a Dipol Laser illuminator

 

I am a little confused by the output power quotated by various manufacturer

 

I am guessing there may NOT be a unified standard for declaration

 

Which is the most effective laser illuminator on the market and

 

notice I use the word effective rather than powerful

 

Where is the cheapest place to buy them ?

 

Thanks

 

I am using it in conjunction with the new Digi Pulsar 550i

Hi Londonhunter, I'm afraid i cannot help with your quest for a laser illuminator as i have no hands on experiance,but i would be extremely interested in knowing how you are getting on with the pulsar as i am thinking of investing in one although i have never even tried any nv whatsoever

Hi I was going to invest a small fortune in a gen 2+ setup.

 

I also was priviledged to use a Raptor while hunting in the U.S. last year and that's very impressive

 

I would say it this is the best new product launched for many years.

 

You must see it for yourself.

 

I mounted it on my 17 HMR. It is just as comfortable on my 20TAC, 6 x 47, 30 BR or 6 PPC

 

Went to a friend's ground and I really have to hold back what I am shooting.

 

Bottomline - I could have cleared the whole place in 1 night

 

If you ask anybody who has already invested thousands in a gen 2+ gen 3 equipment of course they will say it cannot match it

 

If you ask somebody who has stocks of gen 2+ and gen 3 equipment of course they will say it is not as good

 

But the question i asked myself is :

 

Are these other "tube" based equipment £3000 better than what I have in my hands ?

 

Bottomline - I am shooting everything I can see safely in total darkness with £3000 still in my pocket

 

The longest shot to date (02 weeks) using a LED 80 mw illuminator is 220 yards

 

I feel with a laser illuminator this will increase

 

It will probably identify further targets but 4x magnification is limited

 

I would not attempt targets of similar size in day time with a 4 x scope.

 

i hope this comment is helpful
