Out With The Nv

[bigmac 97kt 13,836]

Well as most of you no a good friend and an member off hear lone me one of his NV scopes

at first i thought it was a wind up but tru to his word it was sent up for me a NSXD 5x50 gen

i was like a kid waiting for Santa to come waiting for the knock at the door lol.

 

The knock came and she had landed ,scorpion was then taken out of the cabinet and then hell i need a new rail to fit it ,so off to my mates Vislauk ,s house as between us we have some gear and he lone me his rail we set it up and she was ready to go .

 

Could not wait for it to get dark but once it was off i went i spent most of the night plinking and getting used to her set her up at 33 yards

 

You no its a long time since i sat and just plinked i mean not at a range but just sat just me the rifle and a tin of pellets and a few tin cans and targets on a bored and you no what i really enjoy,d it .

 

Felt like a kid again with my first rifle lol

 

It was good .

 

The NV takes some getting used to and took some time to get my head around it and figger it out .

its some bit of kit mind and i had one walk around with it but not a lot was out with the frost

it was fecking cold last night but the grass was like walking on broken glass hell you would of heard me 20 miles away lol .

 

So i did not get any thing but i really enjoyed it .

 

Some times its not all ways the getting of pray

 

but just being out there and being 10 again with a rifle a tin of pellets and your self

to be honest mac i went out with the nv last week then ended up taking it off & useing my red torch which was bloody brilliant ,i shot 4 sat in the same small field in total .8 altogether some out to yds i could see my milldots a lot clearer with the torch which made for cleaner shots

Good on you for getting out & giving it a go, the n v is a good idea, as you know I could not get on with mine !

Mac try a t20 ,t38 or t50 for a ir they are far better than the nm800 and I mean far better

[bigmac 97kt 13,836]

Looks a great set up. I just finnished putting a Nv kit together and had a couple of trips with it and it is talking some getting used to! I'm struggling a little bit with range estimation as I can only see on the screen what the scope has magnified. Verry handy bit of kit tho. On mine I used a t20 ir with a doubler and the doubler made a huge difference. Good luck with it I bet they are great once you are used to them!

I no what you mean it is difficult to estimate distance with them but just got to get used to it lads like vm have used them for a while now and they get good results with there's.

 

If i cant ill use it as a lay in wait rifle, ill pace out the zero,d distance and wack them that way lol

i think the t20 is more than adequate for any air rifle set up ,i have t20 with doubler on mine its excellent but heavy in fact i think it dont even neeed the doubler ,i got one of uknv kits tubecam off pete , for standing or resting shots they are superb , but i felt walking around the fields & keep lifting the gun scanning its damn hard work ,you deffo need a spotter with them ,but for ratting ,for £120 they are every bit as good as any ns200
