digging-deep 518 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hello all, not posted in this section for a while but last night me & the gafer had a night out with the scultra and the pulsar n550, weather wasn't to great when we set of so we wasn't sure if we was going to bag any but when we got to the spot the weather piced up had abit of wind so things were looking good, got to the 1st field where there was a couple of rabbits I slowly walked up towards one and raised the gun onto the shooting stick took aim but missed, it was further than I had though, this happened quite a few times untill I got use to the doubler that is on the n550 after getting use to it I managed to take a rabbit with a head shot around 30yards doing a nice flip in the air, the 2nd rabbit was around 40 yard I took it over with a nice shot but took my eye off it and couldn't find it as I didn't have a torch lol the 3rd rabbit I got was a nice headshot taking in over cleanly, when I looked again to see where it wAs there was another next to it sat up on its back legs so I put a .22 airarms field target straight through its brain, walked over to retrieve the rabbits but there was only the one there couldn't work out where the other one had gone, then I handed the gun over to the gaffer he took a nice rabbit with head shot around 39 yards, and after missing a few more due to the wind picing we decided to call it a night, very please with how the .22 scultra preformed and can't wait for the next outing hopefully this week and hoping for a bigger bag and not to lose any thing time lol 1 Quote Link to post

digging-deep 518 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Cheers mac, yeah that's it you can't always get them ever now and then the best of us miss, it's annoying when you can't find them and without a torch it was a real pain Edited October 30, 2013 by digging-deep 1 Quote Link to post

Nice shooting and that is some bit of kit on there!!! Looks heavy! Haha I can you imagine It's not actually heavy on the scultra daz it was heavy when the gaffer had it mounted in his r10, it's a good bit of kit but I'm not that good with it that's why I have a ns200 for Christmas from the girlfriend 1 Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Daz its not heavy at all mate its just right on the gun when it was on my r10 it was though you felt it by the end of the night pretty cumbersome on my r10 too so I am on the lookout for an ultra se then dd can have his gun back 1 Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 What does it weigh? I guess if you take the scope off to put that on, there is a little compensation. My HW100 is supposed to be 3.8kg, then with bipod & scope I guess pushing 4.5kg, which isn't much, written down, but after 6 hours walking around, you start to feel it haha. I assume you use it just like a scope then? did you post any footage? As a matter of interest, (I know I can google it) but what are those retailing at? 1 Quote Link to post
digging-deep 518 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm not to sure in the weight but it's still light and well balanced to , You can pic them up 2nd hand of eBay for £600+ they retail air £1000, just use it like a normal scope really good but of kit, pm the gaffer if you want to no more about it he uses it a lot more than I have Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Ha, the price just put it out of my reach, even 2nd hand. I'll wait till the kids have left home.....or I win the lottery Quote Link to post

I'll wait till the kids have left home.....or I win the lotteryyou can do a home build daz what cost around the £100 mark and that would look something like a ns200 with the screen you just need a good ir torch and i would go for one like my ir cost me £45 and i can see 250 yards easy more than enough for an air gun there are loads of threads on airgunbbs and part lists knocking about from what i hear alot perform very well Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 cool thanks, I'll add it to the ever growing wish list I have now haha! Given how skittish these rabbits are round here, NS is the way forward!! Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 the rabbits are the same hear 1st time i used my nv i got 10 yards off the rabbit and had to move back for the shot lol and the rabbit didn't know i was there.there is a thread on the nv part on hear about home made setups and part lists are on there too daz may be something on there to help you out its dam cheaper than buying one thats for sure Quote Link to post
