Elliott 436 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi Bill, hope you're well. What was wrong with the Tench reg if you don't mind me asking? The only reason I ask is that I've recently picked up an AA S200 and am considering sending it away to have one fitted. Send us a PM if needed pal. Glad the nightvision kit is looking promising, its something I've never really considered until recently. ATB Quote Link to post

Excellent piece of kit that had made my shooting easier. Quote Link to post

Got in from work and the little bugger made off with one of my slippers . Im in the same boat Bill. Defo want a lightweight battery and the dvr units look good just dont want splash me wonger on something that might dissapoint lol. Plus im looking at buying a ratting scope for the ultra rather than the pro-air ive got mounted on it at the moment Mick Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hi Mick. Buy him some slippers of his own for christmas mate, might stop him nicking your's Pleased to say the light wieght batteries have turned up at last. There was a problem with the last batch they had, so didnt send them out to me, but here now Got them on charge as I type this. So tomorrow night Ill be up with my mucker trying a bit of target work first off. Might run the unit on the batteries here, and see how long they will power it up for. ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Well, I have had the Nitesite running for 3 hours now on the lightwieght battery, still going strong!! I have attached the battery to the butt of the Sculptra. The wiers are not a problem at all, they are tucked away nicely, handling will not be a problem at all. Having a spare lightwieght battery, means that, at the moment, I am guarenteed at least 6hrs of use in the field, not that I will ever be out that long Here,s a picture of the set up now. ATB.

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Darkone Pellets arrived for the Sculptra, so was able to zero the rifle in, and check sight marks this afternoon, in readiness to fit the Nitesite to it. In the end I had left the nitesite running on the new lightwieght battery for 5 HOURS....and it was still going strong. After zeroing I attached the nitesite to the Sculptra in daylight. From 30yds, shooting at 12cm red discs, ten shots at each disc, I achieved good accuracy VERY easily with the nitesite. Heres the taget. Later, as it got dark, we wrapped some cheap plastic balls in tin foil, and used them as targets, again it was easy to hit them using the nitesite at 30 ish yds. Both Rich and I hammered them. We made up a target using small tin foil patches on paper, the nitesite lit the patches up well, and we again achieved good accuracy. Camera gave up the ghost, Rich will post the pics A day or two ago, Rich and I lazed some trees in a nieghbouring field, out to 180yds. We turned on the nitesite, and panned it across the field, we could clearly see two bunnies playing at the base of the tree on 8.5 X mag, eyes lit up nicely. So this unit has a fair old reach for sure, MORE than enough to use with sub 12ftlb air rifles at night. As I said before, the reach of this unit is handy to scan ahead and see whats out. Do I think the nitesite is worth the money, and does it live up to expectations....in a word YES. I would have no hesitation in recommending this unit to anyone, its brilliant. Hope to be out with it on the bunnies or rats soon. ATB. Bill. Edited February 8, 2012 by Sweeney-Todd Quote Link to post
Metalman2 45 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes Bill, it was excellent last last night very impressive, the shapes of the rabbits were very clear, and that was with some light pollution in the background from the town. Having a bit of a problem wih the pics, but i'll get there. I'm not the best shot in the world, but it was so easy to hit those balls, thrown at random, min 30yds, just holding the gun, no rest. With new gear coming up, it will have to be seriously good to beat the NS200, and now you got me thinking, you swine, you know i'm carefull with my money, cheers Rich Quote Link to post
