Lucky Sniper Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi everyone.I have not put this in the sales section as I will explain below.I will be selling my Photon in the new year to fund an archer scope. What I am asking is would anyone be interested on here first before I do put it on ebay. There is still a 2-3 month waiting list for these. I was also told I had to wait 4 month but actually waited 10!!!!!It has been used no more than 5 hours and is in mint new condition. In those short hours of use it has had fox and many, many rabbits. I know it is tight when it comes to Christmas but for a very small deposit I will keep it for you until say 2nd week in Jan.£390 PM meCheersRich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Sniper Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Better get em quick then. They told me time and time again they were getting stock (and lots) only they received 2 or 3 and instead of been on the back order list for 4 months it was 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 considering they are meant to be the dogs danglies , can I ask did you have any problems with the focusing, I have heard reports that they where not too clever can I also ask how did you find it worked (truthfully) did you use an external IR and if so which one and what scope did you use it on sorry for the questions atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Maughan Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) I spoke to Scott Country today, the days of big waiting lists are all but over and they said they will have a significant surplus of Photons from early next week. £399 posted, thankfully this will end the crazy games on ebay and bring second hand values down to an appropriate level. I expect you will be able to buy a second hand one for £250 in the not too distant future. Edited December 5, 2013 by Alan Maughan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by "what scope did you use it on" - they're a 5x42 scope with a 30mm tube & the Digital NV is fixed to the Objective end of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Sniper Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 As above regarding the scope. It is a scope. Also yes use a coaster on the focus ring as it is tight although you dont really have to move it once set. Again onboared IR ok. A little grainy but add an external IR and it is very clear. Take a little to get used to the brightness level but only half hour. After that its a good piece of kit. I also have it on my HMR and even with the crack of the HMR rabbits dont really bolt. If your quick you can take 3 or 4 at 100 yards from the same group of rabbits. Fox out to 150 yards is also good, have had one myself at 130 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
