For me, those were great links. For once, you have probably saved me money. That should help make up for the vast amounts spent on LED lights you suggested at Deal Extreme.


After doing a little research, the little Bresser Digital NV Camera is apparently capable of being used as the basis for a Heath Robinson Night Vision weapons scope with quite high performance according to this review.

I will see if I can adapt the Bresser Digitial NV in a similar manner to produce a sub $250 weapons scope with Gen2+ performance.

I will probably need a replacement lens for the Bresser i.e. a Yukon 2x24 or 3x42 for around $50-$70 and use it in conjunction with the Scope already fitted on my QB-78 air rifle.

Addition illumination can be cheaply provided with this combination.

I already have most of the parts already but I would need a secondary aspherical front lens to tighten the IR beam to match the sights FOV.

I could perhaps even attach one of these

and use my airgun like a F-35 driver. whistle
