oldypigeonpopper Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hello, my friend is wanting the above, his scope cannot take the rear type due to the shape on the eye end scope tube, rifle is a T Bolt 17 HMR so needs 50 to 250 yard plus range, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Ive often been tempted by these, but with limited choices (Pulsar F155-455 ect) and a concept that frankly, doesnt work in my head, Ive so far resisted the urge to try. The thing is , theyre not cheap either, unless you get the odd disgruntled ex owner trying to off load one cheap, just to get over the embarrassment of paying £1000+ for a grainy image that doesnt hold zero. It might sound harsh , but theres a very good reason why so few of these are sold, and its because they arent very good ! I would suggest your friend try a different approach , either a dedicated NV system, or a different scope that will take a rear add on. Cheaper and better by far.

Hello, have to agree but just thought to ask, we are going to try an 007 and see what can do with his scope maybe an extra sleeve, are you still buying 37 mm plus lenses for the 019 ? Need a 4 X ?

What exactly is the problem with his scope ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
