NV add-on advice for .308 WIN

[cliveward]

Hi Guys

Many thanks for the great replies & links to other posts - much appreciated!

Clive, that is very useful information. I generally hunt foxes at night with the scope magnification set to 6x.

Hi Doc,

You might be able to get it to work on 6x by putting a cheap flip up lens cap on the front of the scope with a 30-40mm hole in it to stop down the lens and increase the depth of field.


Cheers

Hi Clive

I thought you mentioned that the Ward-D-700 would work on the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 up to 8x magnification. You are now suggesting decreasing the objective aperture size using a lens cap. Surely this will also reduce the amount of IR light reaching the sensor which could have detrimental effects on the image quality?

Thanks
Doc

Hi Doc,

Sorry I was getting myself confused. In the mean time I'd answered an e-mail to a chap with a fixed focus variable Swarovski and for some reason replied with that scope in mind and not the PST.

No 6x will be fine on your scope.

Many thanks for clearing that up Clive!
