    £600 for the LRF version with ballistics calculator - £460 for the base model, good price if they prove to be reliable.

    Yes please to the review. If, just if it is easy to operate. And a decent price, it will open digital to a lot more people. I for one cannot justify an expensive scope outlay on a rimfire for rabbiting. So l lamp. Have always said, the producer who comes up with an uncomplicated and easy to use NV will wipe the board. Fingers crossed.

      It’s absolutely brilliant unit I was waiting for a long time for someone who can design something like Arlene zulus ,had in the past first gen tube and at the time was good but it was like watching something in the dark in heavy snowfall I mean the pictures imagine and I told myself maybe one day when I will have spear money 💰 I would like to get gen 2 but they were priced to high didn’t even fought about the gen 3 or high end thermal which they are good for spotting. Now after I hold on this unit it changes everything in the night I can see almost like in the day I would easily compare this unit to military grade gen 3 tubes if it comes to visibility maybe not that sharp at 400 600yards at the night but for someone with any air rifle or 22 or 225 I seem people use them with large cal as well .For the money 💰 I take this unit anywhere even for spotting you can take anywhere small light tough good price , you don’t need to spend ridiculous amounts of money for gen 3 cos is insane to spend 3-4K £ and this unit is as good as

    They have sent one to The Ratbuster & Lancs Vermin air rifle shooters, they are on on utube using this scope already. First appearances are good with air rifles would be good to see you shoot the higher calibers with this one.

    I'm relatively new to shooting sports, but your videos are always so informative and easy to understand. Would love to see a full review of this scope, and how you found it to work in different situations, it seems like a solid nv or even all rounder, considering the size. Looking forward to your next video as always!

    Hi Chris, this has popped up on a couple of other RUclips channels in the past few days, good on you for bagging one. Certainly looks the part for airgunners on a budget, for vermin control would be good to know what the fov at closer ranges is and how it fares in daylight mode on darker days or shaded woods etc. I would love to get a demo on one in due course as I am looking for an alternative to my current nv scope addon which is not ideal for eye relief distance. Look forward to your the next one on use of this scope.

  • @darrenm7964
    @darrenm7964 Год назад +1

    First impressions it looks ok, doesn't seem to sit as high as the 008 which is good maybe a side by side comparison with the 008,I think they do a lrf version also, good to see you doing more videos as well Chris !

  • @PiperX1X

    Definitely worth doing a full review on it Chris and would be very interested to see how it performs to say a sightmark wraith 2-16x28 hd which is what I'm currently using and find it a great bit of kit for ratting sat on my hw100kt.

    Love to see a review. Looking for a nv.... Still😂. A well priced budget one to stick on the air rifle for ratting would be ideal. like other people who have commented, for the amount of shooting I get to do at the minute can't really justify 700 quid on a scope. Don't really want something like the pard 007. Want a stand alone scope and for under 400 this would be spot on.

    They do an LRF version for £600 I’ve see it on sale for would be nice to compare with the Pard and the Cheetah to see any differences at £200 saving on a Pard would give them a run for their money!

    Hi Chris. A lot like the pard 008 and I find they stand high above the barrel witch is not very good for different distance shooting either hold over quite a bit or hold under. Would be nice to have something like this that is closer to the barrel. What do you think 👍

    @brynybach7741 Год назад +1

    If as someone has commented that they plan to bring this out with LRF, then I for one would certainly give it a go as it definitely looks smaller than my current Sightmark Wraith 2x. I do love the Wraith but I would definitely swap it out. Can't wait for you full review 😊 👍

      It Depends entirely on your rifle, they will end up where they end up to get correct zero. Hour only other option is to mechanically realign it with the barrel
