vizlauk 1,568 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 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. 3 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,982 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 In that case you need a different off set mount but the new sunblack 20 ir is 3 times brighter and a lot better http://www.nightscout.co.uk/torch-mounts.html Quote Link to post
