my personal review of pulsar n750

[bikemad24]

After using a home made night vision system for a few months (which i managed to get 22 foxes with) i wanted to upgrade to a decent nv sysem to go on my 22-250. So after doing as much overtime as i could cope with a saved up my pennies to buy a used starlight archer, but when i went to see the archer the tube was so burnt it was totally***********. The guy would not knock a penny of the £1200 price tag and in my opinion it was worth NOTHING! so i spoke to my rfd and as luck had it he had a n750 brand new for £900 if i wanted it. Its now fitted to my rifle.

 

My first impression of it is that it feels a bit tacky the buttons have cheap looking stickers on them and it quite hard to focus on objects properly because the parallax adjuster is very sensitive, which to make a quick shot on fox a distance quite difficult. The ergonomics of the buttons is shocking! It will take me weeks to figure out where they are. you never seem to press the same button twice.

 

The screen in its standerd setup looks terrible because the standard ir torch has a filter on it which makes the image look very grainy, there is a youtube video that shows you how to remove this in about 2mins, but on a RRP £1200 scope why the hell should you? This could also affect your warranty if you start messing around with it. iv now fitted a t20 ir and the difference it makes is hard to put into words it transforms the scope.

 

Iv also ordered a a doubler kit so i can have upto 12 mag and hopefully it will be a sorted nv scope.

 

I used it friday and Saturday night (3 foxes), the battery's lasted the 2 days i used it. it got bounced around a fair bit in the back of the mule and it didnt loose its zero which i found quite impressive. You can see at least 500 yrds with it, it is really good in someways but very poor in others,

my homemade nv which was built with alot of help from a member on here (cheers darren) cost me £300 all in. Would i say the n750 3x better sorry in its standed form i would say NO. But if you spend around £1000 on a n750 and another £50 on a t20 and ANOTHER £190 on a doubler, you then have a very good nv scope that's a bit fiddly to use! But again why should you?

 

Thats about it for me for now. i will let you know how i get on when the doubler is fitted.this is my PERSONAL opinion on the n750, there will probably be people on here who think im talking rubbish, well i really dont care. im being honest. If my spelling or grammer offends i dont care about that either!

It was best to walk away from that archer, they get burned when you use the laser for too long with too concentrated a beam then get worse, I bought one with minor burning then put a new tube in at £500 but that's the sort of figure you are looking at

Useful review!

Which doubler do you intend to fit ? Only the Dpinto will hold zero if you put it in the back of the mule unless you do some serious fixing - you'll also find after using it for a white that you don't really need to fiddle with it - just focus at around 100yds & use it, of course there will always be the occasion where you want perfect focus !

 

I've just sold mine after owning it & using it for a year. I thoroughly enjoyed using & learning from it, I ended up with a Gadsen adaptor fitted on mine but even that need some modification to stop it moving & losing zero.

 

I'm now waiting for a Drone Pro 10x to come into stock - it's all the things the N750 should/could have been.

iv got the dpinto and some thread-lock coming this week. iv got the yukon lens at home waiting for the adapter. oh i hate waiting. i was going to save a bit longer and buy the drone pro but once an doubler is fitted there not supposed to be much of a difference?? Please let me know how you get on.

Part of me says to get the archer as you can use it as a spotter as well, compared to drone there's hardly any price difference. One thing i will do is give a honest opinion of anything i use.

Right then, iv fitted the dpinto adapter and yukon lens to my n750 and coupled with the T20 i.r torch its turned into the £1200 night vision scope it should be. i cant tell you how good it is. It was not plain sailing though, i had to shim the front of the scope a little bit because the doubler seriously affects the poi. luckily the way the scope attaches to the mounts this is very easy to do and only took a couple of minutes. i now have 7x and 12.5x mag, and a very sharp picture, if i hadn't dropped my dvr and broke the cable i would have put a short video of me shooting rabbits at around 240 yrds. It really is that good. i even won a bet with the farmer! The only thing i need to do Finnish it of is to put something on the rubber mag button to make it a bit more pronounced and easier to find, as i tend to press the wrong button and change the coulor of my ret. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know.

Will have a video on here shortly i promise. (now where's that soldering iron?)

How wide is it with all the extra bits ?

[bikemad24]

the only extra width you have is a t20 torch on the pica tiny rail on the side of the scope. i can still shoulder my rifle no problem. The youkon lens adds around 3-4 inches to scope length. my dvr is normally stuck to the side of the stock with some velcro but il only use that when shooting on the back of a mule. I hope this answers your question. the t20 is a very small ir torch.
