si brown 8,486 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 after being well impressed with the wildcat... witch i wasn't sure i would be cos it was more a case of getting a manageable rifle for my little lad I've taken a shine to fx the cat and photon combo is excellent for ratting, you can re focus no problem free handing but i struggled like feck with the photon twined with the 510 laminate... far to front heavy!! I've decided to stick with the cat and get shot of the 510 and replace it with a lighter model, I've come to realise that i don't enjoy rabbiting at night with n/v as much as the lamp so heres the compromise!! light accurate and perfect for freehand lamping the fx streamline the stock is dry as sticks and will come up well with a good rub down and a few coats of oil and hopefully darken up! roll on sunday night atb si 9 Quote Link to post
