hilly 6 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi guys, My local gun shop have lent me a ns200 to try for a couple of days to see before I buy. I was going to give it a go tonight but I cant get the crosshairs to focus on the screen. I have tried to turn the lens as the book says but still cant get any focus, is there a trick to it or is that how they are as its not worth going out with it as I cant see where to aim. Any help would be good. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hilly 6 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Give it go thanks. Just a bit peed off as I couldnt wait to get out with it and cant bloody focus it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hilly 6 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Right got it sorted. It has been lent out before and the lens felt like it was moving but it wasnt, so freed it off and got the crosshairs in focus. Had a look around my yard and not to sure if its as good as I hoped yet. Is the n550 a better tool? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
easypeasy 4 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The NS200 is better than n550 in my book, Much clearer natural picture on the nitesite. plus it does a better job at half the price. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The big decider for me was ease of swapping between rifles and not being limited by the low magnification on the n550. Had my ns200 over 6 months now and very pleased with it.

hilly 6 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Once it was sorted I went out for an hour with it and I didnt get on with it. The setup seemed a bit bulky and the screen was very bright in my face, I might as well had held a torch under my chin as the Rabbits saw my ugly mug lit up and ran anyway. Looking into the n550 or n750 now but have been told that the day shooting with them is not to good. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use pc screen material on my ns200 and have no problem with screen glare. its a much cheaper alternative to the n550 you will only end up buying a doubler if you buy one as they are only x4.5mag unless you pay out even more for the n750 .

Ive also found i get on a bit better with a side parallex scope the reticle on the mtc's also seem to show up a little better than the panoramas which are very fine.

Kent_keith 46 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 My ns50 seems to be scope fussy, try other scopes if you can or ask the company what scope works best with their product, Nitesite is working on a stick on cover for the screen to make it darker, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deker 3,478 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I am well aware of what people say about the screen being bright, but it is only bright on maximum illumination settings, and you don't need that at 20 yards. A Bunny 200 yards away doesn't give a hoot how bright or ugly your face is. Regardles of this NiteSIte do offer a screen filter set should you so desire! And I sell it all if you are interested in buying a NS50 or NS200! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
