Re: hi all

I think Adam and Clive are the experts here, but I did have both a 55-6 and a 55-3 on test for a while. Like every bit of new kit, you need to spend time learning how to get the best out of it, and the T Ceptors do have a lot of functions and features that are worth exploring so you get the best ima...

Re: hi all

Agreed -the T Ceptor Pro 55-3 is the scope to have if you need lots of base magnification.
Definitely better than the Thermion XM50

Others may feel differently about it.

Guide Track IR50 review

I've had a Guide Track IR50 on loan from Blackwood Outdoors for a couple of weeks so thought I'd share my thoughts on it. This is it https://www.thomasjacks.co.uk/guide_inf ...

Re: Hik micro

It's the same as the HIK Vulkan Pro 35mm sold by Optics warehouse for £2699 It's a good spec for the money although the base magnification is pretty low at x1.4 There's no equivalent Pulsar spotter although the Thermion XP38 would have almost the same spec - and the Pulsar costs a lot more Have you ...

This method gives a real time image of what the thermal sees without the horrible lag and frequent dropped connection that happens with spotte...
