So want to dedicate my ruger m77 for NV but know next to nothing about it.
At present I have a S&B 8x56 on it. Can spend about £1000 extra and/or chop in the S&B as well.
Was looking at removing scope and replacing with a pulsar but both models I looked at have really low magnification. Am I missing something here is x4.5 really any good for shooting up to 200m at night? Seems a little low maybe it's just me but would prefer more than that even during daylight.
Tried out my friends archer (a bit more at £1600) and liked it but even if I kept the S&B on and moved if as far forward through mounts as possible it still makes the set up a little uncomfortable and as I am intending it to be a permanent set up want it sitting right. Like the way it doubles as spotting scope but this isn't essential for me to have and am happy to have a 'fixed' unit on rifle.
Like I said have limited experience and knowledge with this. What else is out there you have used or can recommend?
Going to be used for foxes on .223 M77 Mk II out to 200 yds. All advice appreciated.
