bumpy22 414 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 would not bother with photon mate too many issues holding zero etc. only downside with viper is screen light coming back on you. plus you can swap it amongst different rifles Quote Link to post

Outback 1 26 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Iv'e had both photons 4.6 & 6.5 with good illumination the 6.5 will do 200 yds , check out how small your target looks at that range through a night sight , When I buy again it would be a front mounted unit (DFA 750 ) or a rear mount Ward unit I think you would gain from having good quality scope , some thing with a screen no .

Baldcoot 2,352 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Have a photon 5x42 ,extremed it now a 5x55 with a NM 800 ir on it ,wished i couldve got a Drone pro instead ..The Photon is ideal for bunnies n close up but long range is shown up by the Drone im afraid .The Ward is well popular but Clive seems a bit manyana with his dealings whereas the Drone has established itself imho Quote Link to post
philpot 4,925 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I have the NiteSite Viper which has got me loads of rabbits out to 90mts but that is with an fac air rifle however with a T50 IR strapped on the side as well, I can easily see them at 160mt (NiteSite rangefinder readings). I must confess that after buying a .22 rimefire, I was also looking at an alternative sight but as Xmas, daughter's birthday and a costly car fix, it is on back burner until I have recovered somewhat. I really do like the NiteSite and don't have any issues with back light scaring off the rabbits so far anyway but have both red and ND filters if it does become an issue. Good luck with your search.
