The Photon with a laser IR added gives a very decent image. I use a Solaris SRX on full flood and have shot rabbits out to 200 yards. Also have Pard 007, which is excellent, but relatively ungainly to use. Had the Pard 008, but couldn't get it to hold zero. The RT and my previous XT have proved very reliable. Zeroing the Photons is a well documented issue. I ended up buying adjustable mounts for my RT......Yukon obviously couldn't be bothered sorting this issue. Pity, because it puts a lot of folk off what is a very capable unit.
