Pulsar Forward fits on the front of the scope which enables the shooter to look through the scope normally. It is different to other systems because it it less dependent on IR. In quarter moon deer can be short at around 150 meters without using IR. With IR deer can be shot at 300 metres. The Pulsar Forward has a 915 nm IR which has an invisible source. I've shot rats, rabbits, hares and deer with mine.
Needs to be fitted to a scope with an objective bell of 46.7mm or more and requires a clearance of around 8mm between scope and barrel.
You still need a means of spotting, the Pulsar can be fitted with a10x monocular for hand held use, then when you spot your target, remove monocular and fit it to the bayonet mount on your scope to take the shot. One of our customers shot 7 fallow out of a herd of 8 that were raiding a farmers crop.
We have also sold quite a few Pulsar Forwards with thermal imagers. I normally use mine with a Pulsar Quantum HD thermal imager.

Whether you try to build something yourself depends on whether you want to hunt or piss around concocting something that may or may not work. The Pulsar Forward DFA75 cost around $2500. Phone me 039700570 if you want any more info. As a forum member, we will give you a discount.

PS if any of the above sounds weird it is because of my bloody predictive text on cellphone :-)
