Myself - Big Mac & The Pulsar N550

[vizlauk 1,568]

Well I took delivery of a pulsar n550 yesterday , mounted it to my hw100 .22 - so had to take a trip up to our 3000 acre permission last night, I had quickly set the n550 up at home in the garden to 25yrds with ease, so once we got to the farm a quick zero adjustment to 33yrds & off me and Mac went, him one way , me another.

First impressions of the n550 compared to the lamp and scope ! hard to see eye shine so I was still using my handheld red lamp to quickly scan the fields, after a few misses due to judging the distance things came good, a cracking head shot rabbit, then a 1 shot hare met its match, both dropped like hot snots !

After a walk around I headed back to the land rover for a well earned cup of tea, phoned Mac to see where he was and to let him know I was back at the motor, he came back with a nice sized rabbit also, after a bit banter and rest bite, we went off together, another 1 in the bag to me, then we both went into a field and ended up losing our bearings, this place is pitch black, no lights or markers to follow, after a quick look on google maps to see where the f--k we were, we headed back to the jeep, packed up and cleaned up, the bas-ard jeep wouldn't start, diesel running back, so after a few priming sessions and a squirt of easy start, we made it home at 2.40 am.

Let's hope the next session is better.

IMO To get the best out of N550 you need Sony doubler and dr bob adapter t20 sun black ir , offset weaver mount

 

These are the items i use on my N550 , this lot has mad it in to a great NV unit ,all though saying that I went out last night with Ward D-700 add on scope and bagged four rabbits , these add on are the best and will match N550 !!

I must add that the field we got lost in is the size of three or four football fields and when he says pitch black lets just say if you hold your hand up in front of your face you can not see it .

 

there is no light contamination, no street lights or any lights at all just black black black

 

mint mind when you look up at the stars

In that case you need a different off set mount but the new sunblack 20 ir is 3 times brighter and a lot better
