NV add on

[Buffy Vampire Slayer]

anyone use the add on type NV (as opposed to dedicated stuff)?
what's your opinions on the best unit?
would want it for rabbit and Charlie,so would need to fit a couple of scopes and be capable of 150yds at a minimum
if it would need a bigger torch it's no problem
cheers boys,

I've got a high end Envis add on and it's fantastic out to long ranges. I've shot foxes at beyond 300 yards with it. Had a D760 Gen 3 in the past which was outstanding but limiting for the use of the rifle. Add on will never give that level of performance but lets you use the rifle for other things..

It rarely comes out nowadays though; all the foxes are dead!

Worth it for shoots where your permission depends upon results, especially when it's lambing time. Otherwise a waste of time.

what about nite eye NS 200
anyone use or have any first hand experience with it
watched a few vids on you tube with the team wild boys and accuracy (in daytime anyway) is shit hot
but there's not much night time footage
thanx in advance chaps

Robbie,I just can't do with the hassle of swapping daytime to night time rigs and the rezeroing palaver and can't really justify a dedicated night gun,so that's why a 150-200 yard add on unit appeals to me
But,that said I don't want to buy crap
this is why the stuff I'm looking at is up to 2 grand with the ns 200 @ £600.

You get what you pay for Nigel... Low end stuff will simply piss you off eventually...

If you're ever up north you can have a look through mine

thanks for the offer robbie but i can`t see me being up your neck o the woods any time soon.
i`m not in any rush to buy until the crops are down so have 8 to 10 weeks yet to have a proper look round

any advice from anyone regarding add on units to look at is still welcome
so don`t be shy

managed to blag a nite eye NS 200 for the weekend off one of my regular gun dealers
i only called in to see what he`d got in night vision and he`d just took this in part exchange for a air gun yesterday
hope the rain holds off tonight and i`ll stick it on the hummer for a couple of hours and see how it performs

I seen pictures of that NS200 and its a bit reminiscent of Bernie the Bolt (for those of you who are old enough to remember) ie The Golden Shot
Looks a bit awkward to me, with the monitor on top of the scope.
You wouldn't want to sling it over your shoulder in case u knocked it off.
I'd be interested to know how you went on tho.
I got an Archer and an N550 and It would be good to know how it compared
