R1nut Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I'm after some ideas as to which cheaper scopes work well with a add-on nv. I would ideally like 3x mag or less, side focus but most of all clear with the e700 camera. So far I have found a hawk that seems reasonable, nikko sterling diamond that was recommended and a bushnell legend hd that is supposed to be very clear but the field of vision is limited. It's going on my air rifle so low mag for closer shots. I had a quick look through the nv forum but they seemed to focus on the more expensive range. I can get a Yukon for around 380 so I was trying to keep the cost down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I use the hawk ones and they seem pretty good for the money. S/F is nice but not essential especially with lower mag and short ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1nut Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I was drawn to the hawk range, ChairGun works really well with them. Oowee are they clear? Are they still usable with the mag turned up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Mamba/Mamba lite are very good with digital NV at subsonic ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1nut Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks Steve Has anyone used a MTV viper connect? Or similar small objective like a 24mm, just thinking it would double as a good spotter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
