  1. I think I had the same problems with the parallax view, but I was told a tip to help me with getting used to the view. Get the client/ friend to mount there gun on A point eg fence post,  then have a look. this should  give you the gap between your sight line and the shooter sight line.

    hope this helps mark

    Excellent and I am pleased for you. I am inclined to agree with what you say about the earlier models having their own individual volume controls. I have the earlier model, which thankfully are still working OK, BUT I tend to only use them for game shooting which is around 1 day per month, during the game season. I do hope you do not have any problems with yours, because it will cost almost what you paid for them,  to have them 'serviced'  !

    Thanks for the heads up as I have a older set that I want to get serviced in the new year!!

  3. Hi everyone, just thought of doing a review on my new cens as I get asked a lot, about what they are like and are they worth the money! 

    First of all I do think hearing protection is very important, so I wear mine all the time shooting. I used to wear a cheap pair of electronic can but hated them when I mounted the gun as I felt they were in the way.

    so first opening of the grey cardboard box,to reveille a black case with foam inside. Inside is a air puffer, 6 packets off battery’s, tube of gel, clip, neck loop and the CENS ProFlex dx5,

    the dx5 comes with 5 setting Game, Clay, Comms,  Range, Hunter. Each setting has been adjusted to suit the kind of shooting you require. As I have found some of the setting are very close to each other but worth playing with to find ones that work for you the best. ( I use game,clay, comms) It’s worth noting that the neck loop only works in comms mode. Adjusting the volume is done with one  small switch and I found it a lot easier then the previous rotation switches on the other models. 

    Out in the field the biggest problem I had to start with is when listening for birds, as I could hear them all round me and not pinpointing where they were but within four or times out I got hang of working out where the sound where coming from. As for the sound quality Its very impressive as you still can hear birds sing and dog ****!  The second problem I have and this no fault of the dx5 is that the mould becomes uncomfortable, but with just a pin head worth of the gel surplied in case is brilliant especially when on long days shooting, 

    at this time I haven’t really had a go with the neck loop, as to review it, for those who are interested it has a standard headphone plug On it and you hear everything though the dx5.

    i hope this has helped, 

    many thanks 

     

  4. Not a "real" 682 a modern copy like movie remakes the original one was better.

     

    mines a later gun, as far as I know it made around the 2007 mark,

     

    Not the same gun as the silver 682 models the op is talking about but I have a Gold E and would not swap it for a 692 if it was a free swap.

     

    figgy

     

    I just tried the 692 and sadly its not the gun for me, it has a lot things going for it, like the 682 does. its kind made my mind up about go for a dt11 now tho,
