The rifle puts out about 850fps with AA Field, which is 25.5 ft/lb. Zeroed at 50 yards it gives a point blank range plus 3/4" to -1/2" from 15 to 55 yards and a 2" drop at 65 yards. The height above barrel is 3" and is quite manageable in this rifle. By designing my own reticule I have a secondary aiming point for the 65 yard mark.

The sight works well on both my .17HMR and on .22rf, but I don't have many suitable shoots for those rifles so it mainly lives on the Falcon.
If you don't have to give up your car because other people commit crimes in their cars, why should I have to give up my firearms because other people commit crimes with their firearms?

People slate the yukon something terrible but I like it :) bit tricky to zero but perfect when done so ,and as for it changing poi front night to day well that's codswallop the crosshairs are fixed it's down to the shooter properly got it on the highest setting and blinding himself with the screen and you can easily see to 150yards with the standerd ir lazer I use it for foxing and can only fault the batteries don't last long enough :) they do sell a add on battery pack which I brought and sorts that problem out :) hope this helps :D

NVSC who sponsor the forum does some nice bits of kit, they just add on to your day scope, so just slip it on when required .

take a look, think the guy's name is Clive.

Ive just joined on here and was going to ask the question about your thoughts on this scope, but you've saved me the effort, so cheers guys. :thup: I use a home made attachment with a T56 IR torch and find using the 16mm lens magnifies the scope significantly and takes a while to get used to, but I'd rather have the magnification there to use than not have it, which seems to be the case with the Yukon.
Are there any other NVRS in that price range or cheaper on the market? I know that as a rule, the cheaper they are, the quality drops significantly, but I find because I only use air rifles, even a gen 1 scope is brilliant (with an extra IR torch) lol
Don't worry about the people from your past; There's a reason they haven't made it to your future
