  1. i know it’s an older post, but for anyone else that may be interested in the same subject - I’ve got a Vortex 1000... seems to be accurate to about 850 yards and is a nice compact size... a well made, quality piece of kit and highly recommended! I’m sure they do other longer range models too!!
  2. Quality quick release picatinny mounts set up on any rifle with a picatanny rail and you will be fine - as already said above, keep a note of your X/Y settings for each gun you'll use the Photon on and make sure you secure in the same place each time etc and it will do the job for you... I use my Photon on an LR and also on a WMR and just change the X/Y windage and elevation settings each time - I write down the settings on a small piece of paper, then take a photo and keep it in my phone...
  3. Cheers bud... Good to be here... Looking forward to some good stuff on the forum!!
  4. And just a thought... I've got a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire BDC 4-12x40 new with receipt purchased about 2 months ago - I had it on my gun for about 2 weeks then took it off to put a Photon XT on it for night time bunny bashing, so if you're interested in that, let me know... I got it shipped in via Brownells to my local RFD, because the 3-9x40 model is easily available in the UK, but not so many 4-12x40 seem to be available!! You'll find plenty of reviews on them on the interweb!!
  5. You could try a Hawke Sidewinder TAC 30mm Tube... I've got a 4.5-14x42 Side Focus, but you'll pick one up for around £180-£200 in the higher mags option too if you need more mag... Excellent illuminated reticle, and works great with a lamp... Also one of the good ones for putting an NV add-on onto it if you decide to go down that route!!
  6. Or try one of the Nikko Sterling range of side focus scopes... Pretty good optics for the dosh and nice build quality... I don't have one myself, but a mate of mine has one and he swears by it!! I had a look through and I was really impressed with it - not sure which model it is, but it was around £150 and I think it's 4-16x50 with side focus...
  7. how did you get on with your adjustable mounts on your photon? I had the same problem, but not for windage! The crosshair was an inch low of target, so I shimmed it up with a set of Hawke shims off fleabay - plenty of adjustment after that with X=+10 and Y=-12, so the Hawke shims worked nicely!! I did end up buying a set of ATP72 Picatinny adjustable mounts, but unlike the APT66 Dovetail mounts, the Picatinny only adjust for elevation... It wasn't a problem though... I only seemed to need the adjustment on the elevation anyway!! Now sitting at X=+6 and Y= -4! Hawke shims are about £
  8. The question has been asked a lot about warranty transfers for Photons... It's not registered to anyone, so I don't see any reason why the warranty wouldn't be transferable... I've read about a few people having second hand Photons and returning them to Thomas Jacks under warranty!! Any questions about the receipt shouldn't be an issue - it may have been purchased as a gift!! But there is nothing in the Instruction/User manual that came with mine that states the warranty does or does not only apply to the original purchaser!! Simply says "3 Year Warranty"... Which is an excellent time fo
  9. Hi there - from another new guy to the forum... Cheers... Mac
  10. Hi... Just new to the forum... I'm located in South Lanarkshire and been shooting for most of my life. I'm a member of a few other forums too.
