amanandhisdog 9 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 50/50 SO FAR IVE BOUGHT A COUPLE OF GUNS RECENTLY AND THE BLOKE AT THE SHOP WILL DO ME ONE FOR £950 WITH THE TORCHE Quote Link to post
easypeasy 4 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I just sold one, optically it just didnt do it for me. I think in all honesty the Nite Site NS200 is better at nearly half the price. if you can save another 600 quid the starlight archer blows it out of the water. Quote Link to post

PLEDGEY 496 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I got both, N550 and Archer. The N550 sits in the spare bedroom and occasionally comes out as a spotting scope. The Archer, with the firefly laser, is the dogs bollocks. Use it on AA S410, CZ452 in22lr and 17hmr. Don't need to mess around with re zeroing, just slip it on the end of the scope and away you go. Iknow they say you can use the N550 in the day, but in reality it's a frustrating picture to look at. I hadn't had the Pulsar long before i felt that it wasn't what i really thought it was going to be. I had convinced myself it was going to be this brilliant bit of kit that would make sooting in the dark a joy....and it didn't. Where as the Archer is completely the opposite. One more minus to the Pulsar is batteries, it eats the things, i get about 3/4's of an hour out of a fully charged set of batteries, that's 4 AA rechargables. The Archer gives you 60 hours(ish) from a CR123. I paid £1600 for the Arch/firefly set up which is good because it gets used, where £1000 for an N550, which only gets used for spotting now and then, is bad. Habe to say for the money the Nite Site looks good. Have you been on the night vision forum and seen the 'Home made NV set up'?, worth a look. Quote Link to post
hacket19 6 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 hi guys ive put the same question on and just seen this ive tried to do as much research as i can watched videos and read up online about these, but was looking for some honest answers and i thinking im finding them right here,1 question i aint seen a answer for is can you zoom in and out with n550. ive been toying with the idea of night vision for a while but just dont know which way to go i only have a theoben rapid 7 mk1 and shoot rabbits, rats,and a diffrent variety of birds. im just using a striker with a diffrent variety of filters should i even get nightvision as i get some pretty good results with out it?
