    A clip from the Arken Zulus day/night 'scope. 7.30pm last night. Range 152 yards. Starts at 5 power, flicks to maybe 20 and then back down to 12. Not too bad for $1,400. Apology for the dog panting in my ear.
    I was pretty sure she had a fawn cos she kept ducking into the scrub.

    Last night. I could see this deer quite plainly with the thermal hand held but because it was obscured by the trees I couldn't see it well enough with the Zulus NV on the rifle. No fault of the 'scope. If it had stepped clear it would have copped it. I say the range on the vid. 240 yards odd.

    I can see why.
    Advantage of the day night NV is great in day and well into dusk and mostly ok at night so long as the animal isn't obscured. There's a safety margin with NV 'cos you can actually clearly id the animal.

    Zulus night vision in daytime mode. Well after ordinary shooting light. 20x digital mag. Pretty impressive.
    You can see the aiming point come up after I ranged it. Quite good depth of field - you can see it walk behind a fence post right at the end (it was behind and old deer trap fence).
