David.evans 5,323 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 As bunny said If you've got one rifle , nite sight If two get the photon , the newer model , You may be luck and get a second hand pulsar 550 for that budget Atb Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
villaman 9,979 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hate TV screens and the photon is not that good either. When I was looking for a NV , I tested a few ,the TV screens just didn't feel right ,unnatural way of shooting so I chose Pulsar N550,Great bit of kit you can buy the second hand now for the same price of a new photon Been looking for another NV tried the Photon and to me its not a patch on my N550 , will be buying the new Pulsar N870 when I sold my N550 with a Sony Doubler on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wildling 520 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Some people though don't have the luxury of owning multiple rifles that allows them the option of setting one aside as a deadicated night time device. Another issue to some is the lack of magnification. (Although why you would want anything higher than x6 at night is beyond me). I like the TV screen aspect on the Nite-Sights for scanning purposes as you don't ha to raise a rifle to your eye every time you want to look around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fireblade_rrw 20 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 What would be great is a "sticky" with a summary & score out of 10 against all the NV kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
