rapid12 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 well, what can i say.. awesome.. just been out for the first time try and i think its great. overall quality seems good, easy to set up and use. picture quality is better than i expected but like others have said, it should be called the ns140 not 200 but right upto 140ish its very good and thats using my ****y tasco ags too The rubber eye piece adaptor could be better, had to apply some washing up liquid to fit to scope but once on no bother at all. I have never been a lamper myself but this has added a whole new dimension of shooting for me, very up close and personal shooting which i like. Its very strange to see the rabbits doing there own thing without a clue your there with them in your sights. i had my ns set up on my .22 rimmy using subs, after shooting one rabbit the one 10 yards from it couldnt give a **** what was happening. I think i must limit my outings as i wont have any rabbits left to shoot come july.. well done nitesite imo great value and quality apart from the rubber add on. cheers 12.

mick miller Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Buy a better scope and you'll easily be able to identify eye shine and outline to plus 160 yards. Bin the rubber boots and buy a dsa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hmmm, dsa's aren't cheap. They're around £90 from most retailers. Just Google Cobra Merlin DSA. Best scope I've used to date is the MTC Genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verminator 66 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 well I had a shock last night gave a NS200 a go on a Bushnell and struggled to get to 50 yards were on other scopes they seem to get out to like you say 140 other thing that wound me up was having to turn that bloody on off switch 5 times to get full power why not do it like the N1000 switch so you can turn off on full power and back on or just put a on off switch as well and the bloody brightens of that screen when I took my eye away and went to walk nearly went down a flight of steps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 The Bushnells have a rainguard coating that might be restricting light. I have found my scopes suck the light when compared to using digital as a spotter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 My Burris wasn't great with it, the Simmons better. The Genesis the best yet. I fitted a simple inline on/off switch to mine, never need much more than third setting unless shooting beyond 120 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Make sure you didn't make the same cock-up that I did one night too, went out with the unit and thought 'this thing is rubbish this evening, what's wrong with it?'. I could hardly see 60 yards on full power. Only later did I notice that the Butler Creek was flipping straight up into the path of the illuminator, not off to one side. Derrrrrrrrrrrr doofus!

luckytrigger Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Loved my ns200 from day one cracking bit of kit. I use a cobra merlin dsa and a gel filter over the screen to cut down glare and also one of the little blue batteries everyone has been going on about.. Takes 5 minutes or less to swap the ns200 between rifles and with the hawke panorama ao scopes i use you can easily 'see' 150yds+ with this unit. I use mine for close range ratting with pcp and rabbit shooting with the rimmie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
