If you want an average mag dedicated scope there ok.

 

Pros

Easy to mount

cheap

Good image when combined with IR torch.

 

Cons

Very focus fussy

Can be difficult to centralise cross hairs.

Very IR sensitive

 

For the money there good, the ward 800 add on is double the price but allows use of the full mag range of your torch and swapping between scopes easily..

 

Theres three options to go for with digital NV, avoid the rest.

 

Photon XT 6.5

Ward 800

Drone Pro 10x

Have recently fitted one to an HMR - 2nd what IanB has said regarding the photon. Needed to pack the mount to zero as ran out of adjustment but no real problem with this. Would benefit from some more magnification on longer range bunnies & on the new scopes I believe you cannot fit the doublers which is a shame. Have fitted a Deben IR torch to the unit which was a worthwhile improvement - a luxury not a necessity.

Overall very pleased with it.

Zac on rabbits if you fit a doubler the FOV is very narrow, ok for foxing 100yds and onwards. Thats why leaving it at 6.5x is probably better to get on target, even if the image isn't as good. With the ward you can go from 3x mag find it and then wind the mag upto 16x if you want and take the shot. Having high mags gives better image quality but it becomes a nightmare for finding things, even when using a spotter, etc

Thanks for the feedback IanB, as for the OP - go spend some pennies, I don't think you'll regret it. Happy shooting ?

a [BANNED TEXT] of mine uses one on the hmr and as said did take a while to set up and had to be packed, but now he has never looked bk using a t20 led ir shoots out to well over 100yrds so yeh good bit of kit for the money
