Hi guys my name is Mart, yes, another old fart joining the forum... been shooting on and off for about 40 odd years and at the moment I am 'on'. Started when I was 12 with a Gat pistol and then upgraded to a super duper .22 BSA Merlin which I purchased from a school mate for 10 bob, those were the days! Anyway I have never really been night shooting apart from a little lamping with some success, so really am a noobie to this. Got to say that i am totally inspired by some of you guys on here and am finding this knowledge fascinating, so a big thank you to all for sharing your skills. So much so that I have decided to have a go at my first NV project, am just going to start with an add-on version to go with my shiny new BSA Scorpion SE and Bushnell Legend scope. The Scorpion has a composite stock which is hollow and am going to try to incorporate the battery inside the stock, we will see how it goes. Anyway for now thank you again guys for your inspiration.
Regards,
Mart

Hi Mart from another old fart. 
Seems like you got the hang of things and helped yourself a bit by reading a few posts.
Good for you on the battery in the stock idea.

A correct grip on the butt & cheekweld is imperative for accurate shooting.
