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
, did they give you any idea of when they will be released ?

did they give you a delivery date?
john, if starlight will sell the top end one without the firefly i'll probably have one to try

I would be more surprised if you didn't
, i just looked at the price of those fireflys £330
i see what you mean about wanting one without.

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
