steve_b_wales Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 About a year ago, there was an article in (I think) Shooting Sports magazine regarding a clip on device to illuminate the reticule on a scope. It retailed for around £24. Has anyone got one of these or used one? and what is the address of the manufacturer? Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Thanks stuartp. That's the type I saw advertised but at a lot less cost. I'll keep on looking until I, or another PW member finds one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 That must be really annoying on the end of your scope?, surely you will see that blooming bar ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxshooter243 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I bought one of these a few years back , its a waste of cash in my opinion as its very clumsy and flimsy too......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I find I can't see what's behind the reticle when it's on. I've tried all settings (Try adjusting a NF 15 or 20 times lol) from burn yer eyes out to is it on? It just distracts me Everyones different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulkyuk Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 i find they help when set on No.1 when you are looking at a dark back ground and the deer/fox is walking across it. But as you say, everyone is different and thats what makes the world go round i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
