Night Vision Setup

[secretagentmole 1,701]

just got a very nice falcon prairie from a lad on here (carl williamson) for a great price,(cheers carl) and bought a photon 6.5x50 nv scope to put on it, cant weight to get out with it,,, r10 super carbine for day and falcon prairie multie for night, both .177

What is it about us shooters? At the time of year when the nights are at their shortest (under 6 hours) we buy ruddy night vision equipment? I did exactly the same a few years ago....

might not have the spare cash when winter comes as work is crap for me then and it was 380 new from shop in winter the prices might go up,

What do you think of this NV scope ?

[big napper 3,616]

I think they are great vm, it was realy clear and simple to use, well worth the money i think, ive only had addons before so the difference was amasing

What add ons did you have mate, i have thought about one of these scopes but not sure, i know a lad who has one i might ask him to have a look at it.

I dont what the add on's make pal but it was just too much hassle for me, it was a decent kit but just not for me.

try borrow your mates nv scope for a bit to try it out before you buy one just to make sure you like it, i think they are mint, realy clear and easy to use. atb pal

The best add on is a Ward D-800 ,the 700 was a great bit of kit but the new 800 one is even better

At times I think to my self I kind of cheated , in a strange way !

Yes i know what you mean but if it make it easier for a clean kill i am all for it

Just bumping this how do folk find the photon during the day. After along while and loads of messing finally got it zeroed but feel it's pretty useless as a day scope.

I don't think they are that good at night either ,even with a different IR .

Had a look through one with 105mm lens on , still crap IMO and no where near good as a ward D-700 add on

What is the difference between the D700 and 800 Mitch.
