Thread: IR illuminators

I can probably get them, but I am not doing this for a living. All this came about by this post and I saw a need for an IR that could do the 300 + at a very reasonable price. That said it is just as easy for yourselfs to buy off AliExpress, there are a few different options. But 30mm is needed of course and depending on scope and turrets if high or low profile, low seems best and side mount is good. I am using a double picatinny.
A friend brought 25mm low profile and gave it to me, I had a 30mm high profile and switched out the top rail. Under the top mount are springs and 6 ball bearings 2 of them very small and very hard to find on the carpet. But it works for me.
I had it all setup on the rifle in the early hours for pictures, it just kept raining off and on, I did manage to get something out in the street but was in a hurry because of the setup on the rifle. I could see 300 no problem but I hadn't adjusted the IR right and the picture was grainy.
Maybe to night I'll try again, as they say a picture worth a thousand words. This I think will very from scope to scope.
