    Night Vision Distance and resolution of night vision

    I appreciate you taking the time to look into that for me. If I get an air rifle it will definitely be pcp. The only thing that is putting me off is the recharging. Overkill, but what do you think about a .22lr using subsonic?

    Thank you.....I watched all of his vids and he is definitely in the US judging by things he was saying. I know a lot more now from searching around and 50 yards may be pushing it but only because of the size of a mouse which is OK. What I'm looking for is to be far enough away not to spook them...

    I like this guy, RolaidsBench. Do you know what country he is in? I'm watching the first video which is a test on different IR lights. It's funny, I work in the fiber optic industry and we use some 850nm optics and I find myself briefly looking in them to see if they are transmitting.:eek: The...

    Thanks for including things to search for. I can eventually stumble across the good stuff but it takes a lot of extra time. I'm starting out with a clean slate, no rifles or scopes, so I could easily build a dedicated for this. If I find that I have to move around instead of being fixed maybe I...

    Night Vision Distance and resolution of night vision

    I was very impressed with the view quality on the YouTube video that I posted and think this is the route I should at least try first. Not knowing that most NV scopes didn't have high magnification makes my 50 yard number too far off base as JohnnyC mentioned. I'm guessing the distance in the...

    Thanks for posting all of the information and the link which I will check out. 3 or 4K will make me cry so it looks like thremal is out. This whole mice idea might not be worth it but coyotes could be fun. Hey check out this rat shooting video I just found. Maybe the trick here is a closer...

    Night Vision Distance and resolution of night vision

    Thanks, I will look into that. Model numbers are really helpful for searching. Quick question, I'm seeing IR illuminators mentioned a lot. Do they light up what you are shooting at or just provide more light for the scope itself? That sounds confusing. Do they have to reach to what you are...

    Night Vision Distance and resolution of night vision

    I have had 2 stray cats show up at different times but the next week they were gone. There are lots of bobcats and coyotes which may be the reason. I'm hoping the darkness and my distance away will keep them out in the open for a bit but I also want to get as far away as possible to take my...

    Night Vision Distance and resolution of night vision

    Hey....seriously trying to get some info here no matter how lame my reasons are. :rolleyes: This is remote property and I can't care for a cat. I catch plenty of mice in the traps but cats and traps have nothing to do with what I'm asking.

    Thermal rifle scopes? Could you maybe tell me a little about it. Keep in mind I want distance, like at least 50 yards to keep it interesting.

    Night Vision Distance and resolution of night vision

    I'm not happy with the prices I'm seeing but it is what it is. I would much rather do this in daylight but time is limited and there is so much work to be done on the raw land that I wouldn't want to devote time for something like this when I should be working. Yeah, an open area with bait would...

    Night Vision Distance and resolution of night vision

    Hi, new member wanting to learn the limits of night vision. I’m a good shooter but know nothing about night vision other than a few hours of Google. I want to know if night vision has the resolution and brightness to shoot field mice at 50 yards or possibly even farther. I want to do this at...
