Hi I'm just wanting people's opinions on thermal sights to use or not to use?

Very expensive aren't they? I would be surprised if you could justify having them in the UK for our game,

DM

Can be expensive,
For hunting?

Fine for spotting/counting.
If you can justify the expense.

Nothing is as good as fieldcraft, though.

...you did understand the question, didn't you??

Thermal night vision - for NIGHT TIME use - in the DARK....

I was never given any fieldcraft training that allowed me to see heat signatures in pitch black conditions!

Question was understood.

Comment was regarding the need for a thermal sights in UK, as opposed to normal lamping or use of NV for pest control.
Hence the "fieldcraft" reference, which was not meant as derogatory.

Thermal isn't night vision it's just as effective during the day.
But at night using it surely would be easier than other methods as no extra kit to carry easier to spot the animals ???

I don't understand why you are asking what we think of thermal scopes when you are on here trying to sell one for 3500 quid. Surely you know better than most of us ?

Yeah I getting rid of one, doesn't mean I can't ask people opinions on them, I have my opinion and want to know whatotherpeople think of them

And I'm selling it so I can get a different one.
