My coyote gun just got a big game changer for the rest of this season and next season. Ordered a photon XT night vision scope and am having a custom T50 IR light built for it to give it a 300 yard range. 

 

Its gonna be mounted on my mossberg MVP in 204. Pics will be up soon as I have it.

Hurry up man !!! LOL !

I ordered it off amazon prime at 915 this morning and selected the free two day shipping. You would think two days it's Wednesday so should be in Friday but nope says guaranteed ship date of Monday the 15th. The guy built my light tonight said he will have it to me Friday.

 

i still need to figure out what I'm gonna get to scan with I can't afford thermals like my hunting partner. The guy I did the contest with runs a flir scout thermal scanner and then a pulsar thermal scope on his custom savage 11 in .17rem

i might go with a night vision monocular and another built IR light because the IR will still reflect the eyes it just won't be visible to the naked eye. My thoughts are scan see the reflection the switch to the guns NV to ID the animal. The same partner has the same scope I got on his back up gun which is also a custom 17rem. 

 

Oh also I can hook up a mini dvr to it and record the hunt/shot threw the scope

So, does that mean we could see a video in the near future too ???  sounds like a sweet set up for sure !!!

Yeah I gotta look into one of the mini dvr recorders but it's definitely in the future of the set up. 

 

The he whole start of this upgrade was we did a contest two weeks ago and took fourth but we had called in 15 coyotes but every time I went to my light they scattered like roaches. Fox don't mind the lights but are getting light shy and coyotes won't tolerate it period. My partner for the contest runs all thermal but I can't swing a $10000 for thermal scanner and scope. 

Now with the night vision the animals won't stand out like sore thumbs like with a thermal but I will be light free and we can turn some of our singles into doubles or more. We can pick a coyote count down and both shoot at the same time. The ones we called that only he shot they didn't run off even after their buddy was in the dirt they stand around looking for what's going on. 

 

We called 15 and killed 5 hopefully next time we call 15 we kill 15. And get it on film. 

Got it all mounted up just missing the T50 aftermarket IR light I have it just not the picatiny riser to mount it but it's on it's way. Get that in and then I'll sight her in and get out after some coyotes.

 

 

 

That right there is a good looking set up man !!!

Thanks, got the light mount today I gotta a few more tweaks and tunes I want to do to the set up. High rings for the light to clear the battery compartment and lower rings for the scope so I have better cheek weld because I got none now I gotta hold my head up off the stock. 

 

Why not just switch rings on the scope and light?

Scope is 30mm light is 1"

Gotcha

Very nice set up. How do you like the MVP? Been looking at a .223 version. I like that it takes the AR mags I already have.
