Tremo 138 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Unless you have one lined up I think that you may be hard pushed to find one at the moment ........... at a decent price that is. I have two Photons. The 6.5x50XT and a the 4.6x42XT (which I have converted to an 'Xtreme'). I did initially use the x6.5 model on my Tikka .223 for foxing, although I did have a doubler lens (x1.7) attached. This kit accounted for many a fox in the 100 to 220 yard range. I've since swapped to the Xtreme build for foxing. Personally I don't feel that the native magnification of the Photon 6.5x50 model is enough for foxing unless you are close enough that you can confidently put the dot well within the area of the animal's chest. 200 yards? I wouldn't, but there again other people may feel differently. There are plenty of threads on the Photon 'Xtreme' build process on the Nightvision forum if that's the way that you would like to go.
