Scirocco, that’s a great looking setup!

Question. Does the PVS 14 attach directly to your scope? With an adapter, or does it just screw directly onto the scope threads? – Or does it just butt up against the scope?

Those Fixes are a pest! Blood thirsty Zombie-like evil creatures ( much like Dr Evil) that thrive on those British Isles … Scary indeed.

I’ve been looking at one of these pretty hard! Is it true you need a low power scope? My hawke is 8x on low? You must have first hand knowledge.

Hi exciver
First of all you need side parallax, i normally use it in the swarovski z6i gen 2,,2,5-15×56
I can shoot at night on 15 power no problem, mtc scopes are supposed to work very well with night vision, no personal experience, you will have to try it on the hawk, i only have to use infra red light only on the darkest of nites, to give you an indication of how good it works, i shot a fix at just over 400 metres a couple weeks ago

Thank you!

Always wanted to go Fix Hunting! 😆

ah….I like. How long before refills?

Birds, squirrels, rabbits, coons…….jsb 25.4
Coyotes, bobcats…………………..predator big boys 31.0????? (30-100 yards)

The dead sparrows attract everything else except the deer. The first thing the coons do is eat the dead birds on game cam. It keeps the Foxes checking the area a few times a day.

That’s just for birds, right? I want it for rabbits and coons and squirrels. Plus that will attract the coyotes and maybe the bobcats too. What else you got in mind?

I paid $26 each at the local farm supply store. Chinese all the way.

Yes with good moonlight it’s not to bad from my backyard. But I have a few places to go in mind and they are wooded. Moon light penetration will be quite low. In a couple of these spots I can hunt straight out of my BIG F250. That’s like my mini office….I have everything in their I need to pass time and wait. I just want a few things to attract the game to that spot and have a way of seeing them so I can get ’em in my sites. When Ive been there during the day (4:00 – 7:00 pm) there is so much life there. Almost never know what might show up. I have even seen small deer ( maybe 40-60lbs) there. No one shoots on these properties…(but they’ll let me use an air gun because its quiet)…so these critters are fearless I tell you. There is an open field there too that has a dirt road to a barn that has lights on it at night. I can also park there and shoot right out the window. Maybe I should set up a little feeder of some kind. Something cheap. Any ideas?

When the coons get guns and night vision I will upgrade with that illuminator. 😛

quote SECoda:

There are more reasonable alternatives to night vision but not at that level of quality, clarity, and brightness. If you don’t mind being seen with a IR blaster by other guys with night scopes the latest 1+ units work well enough for coons out to 75 yards or more and 5x for about $500 US.

quote Dr. Steele:

Hi Steve

Yea…$3700 bucks can buy a lot of nice toys. This may be the ultimate addition to complete the package, but I have too much stuff to buy at the moment! Maybe I can find something from Poland for half the price….I know a guy that knows a guy.

nothing wrong with gen 1 except it needs a lot of ir light,the reason i went with what they call,this side of the pond an ADD OD unit,is that i can switch it between rifles i,e air rfle rimfire ,and 204r,which means i dont have to have a specific rifle tied up with nite vision alone,sadly i cant use iton my 300 win mag ,because even though its fitted with a silencer,it would literally tare the unit apart

For sparrows I have 9 – 30″ pellet proof (all steel) feeders loaded with sunflower seeds. For coons I sometimes use a FoxPro caller with coons fighting but they tend to come in on their own and eat everything. It brings them in during the day. They fall under our pest nuisance rules rather than a hunting license. I have motion sensors outside on the garbage cans and feeders (they drive my wife nuts). We toss corn for the deer but we don’t hunt them near the house.

quote Dr. Steele:

Do you use any calls or any feeders or just shoot when the opportunity arises?

foxes i call by hand,,the only feeders i use are the pheasant and partridge feeders on the shoots,its great when you can hunt from the house
