Phill-W68 547 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) Well just been in the garden (blowing a hoolie) to try n zero the photon, 20yds with my r10 25cal, didnt know what to expect, took more than the one shot zero but it doesn't help when you move the dial the wrong way, numbers on the right are the shots in sequence then the X3 were the last 3 pellets in the mag, shot number 3 was defo the wrong way haha Edited October 13, 2018 by Phill-W68 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,927 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I only had a couple of hours playing with Jimmy's Photon but simply couldn't get to grips with it at all in even getting zero which I am certain it was down to me but Pav and Si Brown are a bit whizzo with these and definitely the guys to talk to about setting them up. Good luck with it Phill. Oh by the way, I have sussed how to retro fit the Nitesite rangefinder and will post photos on your other thread later today. Phil 1 Quote Link to post

Thats ok Phil zero it in at 20 then when your out in the field it will be in the ball park wheen you zero out to 30 40yrds good tip as well click the center cap out on the flip up front cover this will give you a better view in day light and dose not harm the nv atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post
