I think rifle mounted thermal/ night vision scopes are restricted?

From what i understand (and I could be wrong) you need permission for a gun mounted thermal scope but not for a handheld spotter.

I think your spot on there Jim. I have a nitesite spotter extreme which uses ir and have found it the best bit of kit I ever bought.you can do all your calling etc with no lights on and then when your ready and you know exactly where the fox is ,on with the light and bang.I have tried a nitesite type nightvision setup but found it took abit of the fun out of it for the lamp man cos he sees nothing until the fox is down.

I have looked through a few thermals at this stage and they are a fantastic bit of kit.The nitesite is limited in its usefulness when a fox is in heavy cover over 500 yards away where as the thermal would have no issue,however I think the nitesite spotter is more useful to me when scanning in a field full of sheep etc cos you can clearly see the fox in very high detail and know its a fox

Can't find an agent for pulsar in Ireland. Anyone know of anybody who sells them.

Didn't see anything for Ireland, but I found a German place on ebay http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Nightlux-Quantum-HD-38-S-Night-Vision-Monocular-Hunting-Observations-/361427449928?hash=item5426c13848:g:sPEAAOSwYGFUyRFA

The Germans are substantially more expensive than the UK even with the Euro they are slapping it on by up to 75% in some cases with NV and Thermal.
The UK wont sell some models to anyone outside the UK mainland scott country and uttings being two of them for some reason.Cant remember which one but add an ROI address and they come with a NFS outside the UK box on your shopping cart.
