Family owned and run, Cobra pride themselves on offering over 12 years experience in the night vision market, excellent personal service, first rate technical knowledge and a market leading backup service. And, unlike some of their competitors, they do not make performance claims for products that they cannot meet.
The small cutting edge night vision monocular has exceptional characteristics. The Nemesis lenses have improved wavelength and contrast charcateristics that help to utilize every bit of light amplification from the night vision tube. This unique design allows the scope to produce a clear image with quality and high resolution. The Nemesis is equipped with comfortable sensor control buttons coupled with an ergonomically designed body (black rubberised bodyshell) and innovative lens cover. Rugged rubber amour protects the Nemesis from destructive moisture and other elements. Features: High grade NV tubes, IR illuminator, compact, lightweight, rubber armored and a padded carrying case and handstrap.
This is yet another versatile monocular from Cobra Optics, that is available in several different formats. There is the standard Merlin, the Merlin 80, the Merlin 100 and the Merlin 120. The features of this unit are the same with the exception of their magnification and therefore their field of view. (Dimensions and weights vary - the units get larger and heavier as you go up through the range).
This versatile monocular from Cobra Optics, is available in two different formats for day scope attaching. There is the standard Merlin DSA (ideal for airgunners) and the Merlin EX DSA (ideal for recoiling rifles). The features of these units are the same with the exception of their eyepieces. The EX DSA eyepiece being extended with cushioning to eliminate eye bashing due to recoil. These units can be fitted to a multitude of scopes, but the scope must have parallax adjustment, so that the unit can be focussed correctly. They also benefit from the addition of a powerfull IR illuminator, due to the night vision unit being so far back from the objective lens of the scope when attached. You may also find that you require a butt extension on your gun, to offer a bit more of a natural shooting position. Both illuminators and butt extensions can be purchased as accessories.
The Cobra Meteor Pro is a no frills, but functional night vision binocular. It offers good magnification and field of view with built in IR illuminator. Comes complete with neck strap and carry case.
The Nebula Pro offers similar specification to the Meteor Pro, except for the fact that it features a focusable IR illuminator (with slightly less magnification). Comes complete with neck strap and case.
The Sabre Pro is Cobra Optics entry level riflescope. It features good magnification, but limited field of view. It has a built in IR Illuminator and Adjustable brightness reticle. The Sabre Pro also has an accessory rail (weaver) for the fitting of an additional illuminator if required. Cased. The mounting base on this unit will allow fitment to either a weaver or dovetail rail.
The Javelin is a Gen 2 riflescope featuring a massive 4x magnification with a 7.5° field of view. The Javelin has a built in IR Illuminator that is focusable and has 3 power settings. It also has a crosshair with an adjustable illuminated red dot, sniper turrets and a high shock resistance (upto .375 H&H). Cased. Mounting base is a weaver fitment.

The CentaurT is our latest and most compact Gen 2 weapon scope yet. It is also one of the lightest on the market, weighing in at just 830g. Power is supplied by two 1.5V Alkaline AA/MN1500 batteries. The standard CentaurT features a commercial grade Russian Gen 2+ image intensifier tube. With a top quality, multicoated 100mm f1.5 lens, the unit offers a 3.7x image magnification. Focusing is internal with rear eyepiece dioptre control. Minimum focus is approximately 15m. The CentaurT is excellent for short and long range pest control. A built-in 75mW high power Infrared (IR) Illuminator gives good low light/total darkness capabilities and is powered by the scopes internal batteries. It offers a focusable beam and three power settings. The CentaurT features a variable brightness precision mildot green-on-green crosshair reticle. Sniper-turret type windage and elevation controls are built-in offering an adjustment of 1 click=10mm@100m. The unit is fitted with a Weaver mount as standard. A tripod thread is fitted as standard and the unit is supplied with a shoulder/belt-mount pouch case.
The Centaur 165T offers the highest image magnification in our range and is one of the lightest on the market, weighing in at just 1020g. Power is supplied by two 1.5V Alkaline AA/MN1500 batteries. The standard Centaur 165T features a commercial grade Russian Gen 2+ image intensifier tube. With a top quality, multicoated 165mm f2.0 lens, the unit offers a 6.0x image magnification. Focusing is internal with rear eyepiece dioptre control. Minimum focus is approximately 30m. The Centaur 165T is excellent for long range pest control. A built-in 75mW high power Infrared (IR) Illuminator gives good low light/total darkness capabilities and is powered by the scopes internal batteries. It offers a focusable beam and three power settings. The Centaur 165T features a variable brightness precision mildot green-on-green crosshair reticle. Sniper-turret type windage and elevation controls are built-in offering an adjustment of 1 click=1/4 MOA or 7.5mm@100m. The unit is fitted with a Weaver mount as standard.
The Gen 2+ Tempest™ is a unique, compact 3-in-1 design - 7x Day Telescopic Sight, 4 x Night Vision Sight and 1x Night Vision Monocular. This variant utilises a commercial grade Russian Gen 2+ image intensifier tube. Utilising an interchangeable eyepiece system, you can quickly change between day and night use. The night vision eyepiece can also be used as a 1x hand-held monocular via attachment of an optical inverter (included). A fast aperture (f1.5) and large front optic (66mm), combined with a fixed magnification, maximises light transmission and optical quality. Other day/night systems offer smaller front optics and zoom magnification which will noticeably degrade both of these elements. This is a truly 24/7 system - changing the day/night eyepiece has no effect on the rifles zero. As a night vision weapoin sight it is parallax-free at any distance. With an all-metal housing, the unit is rugged, weather resistant and dustproof. It is shockproof even with heavy recoil calibres - .375 H&H, .416 Rigby and even .50 calibre. Because the night vision eyepiece is basically a sealed monocular, weatherproofing is maximised. In fact, a large proportion of the monoculars front lens can be dirty before it has any effect on the unit when used as a night sight. Precision sniper-type turrets offer an adjustment of 1/4 MOA (7.2mm@100m). Reticle is a precision mildot crosshair. An optional photo/video adaptor is available that can be used both in both night vision sight and monocular modes. The monocular can also be fitted with the 7029 3x Lens Converter, giving you a 3x hand-held option. The Tempest™ will accept either a 75mW, 150mW & 350mW high power Infrared (IR) Illuminator for very low light/total darkness capability - the IR Illuminator providing the scope with its own light source. The unit is fitted with a Weaver mount as standard.

1 piece adaptor mount
Weaver to 11mm (Airguns)
(ideal for a solid, unbroken dovetail)
1 piece extended adaptor mount
Weaver to 11mm (Airguns)
(ideal for a solid, unbroken dovetail)
1 piece adaptor mount suitable for most airguns with a raised rotary magazine
Weaver to 11mm (Airguns)
(ideal for a bridging magazines or breeches)
2 piece adaptor mount
Weaver to 3/8" (Rifles)
