C3PO 118 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Today I picked up my x6 magnification SM-3S26 HyperGen this morning ... absolutely delighted. After my previous experiences with a Yukon NVRS and Cobra Merlin, boy is this one huge leap forward. I also bought a set of Leupold QR mounts to hot swap from the NV sight to the Bushnell Elite. Suddenly the bunny population in Berkshire is about to be seriously recalibrated. For the geeks: 60lp/mm ... FOM: 1,600 Edited March 29, 2008 by C3PO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to putting it to really good use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

C3PO 118 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Over the next week or so I'll do a full review. But briefly: Pros: -- Extraordinary performance over both Gen 1+ dedicated and Gen 1+ NV units (seeing is believing) -- No "fisheye" image ... pencil sharp -- Just 20mW of IR LED illumination needed to view rabbits at 300 yards -- Solid build, fast lens for excellent light gathering -- Instant on / off of tube with varying illuminated reticle -- Brand new tube rated to 4,000 hours of maximum performance use Cons: -- A heavy unit when you compare to a typical day scope, needs getting used to -- Depth of field is small so you need to be prepared to re-adjust the focus for different ranges Edited March 31, 2008 by C3PO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
