finally bit the bullet!

Post by norfolk ferret » 03 Jan 2014, 18:10

After many many months of diliberation I've finally made a nv purchase. I've pre ordered a starlight arrow from Scott country. Toss up between that or a photon, just hope I've made the right decision!

Standard, its to go on my .17hmr so it should be ideal. The main reason for my choice is that I need higher mag than the photon offers due to my poor eyesight.

I like the idea of not having to pay for an illuminator that you probably wouldn't use :thumbup: , did they give you any idea of when they will be released ?

Saw a pic of one in an advert in the basc magazine. Ordered it from Scott country, who I've always found to be pretty reliable. If it doesn't arrive within a reasonable time I'll get my money back!

£330!....christ i thought they were far too dear when they were £250. firefly's are about the same as the old dipol L3 btw
inline digi addon's are my thang john....if the specs check out, i gotta try one

looks like mr ferret here might be one of the first to get one, its debatable wether that'll be in the next few weeks or not though lol
