Id been considering swapping out the falcon anyhow, love the scope but the bsa with 500cc bottle is already a heavy gun, and the falcons no lightweight.
I have the non ao hawke as was fed up with having to fiddle before getting a shot off, is ao/ sf a requirement for nv add ons?
You'll need to get used to having a fiddle - defo need PA/focus... ideally down to 10 yards ish, and side wheel is easier.
Bit off quite a shopping list now aincha?

Hmmmm.....
Got a spare ao scope, 4-14x44 nikko gameking might keep things going for now. Time to move on a couple of unused shotguns, need some extra funds me thinks
Always worth fiddling again for the sake of a new toy

Hi Maximus , welcome to the forum ,i am a sillysuffolk born near stowmarket many years ago
but now resident in Essex , NV is a real interest of mine, with my Nite site Wolf i use MTC Mamba Lite
scopes which have side parralax , i find these scopes are very good for NV ,i use the NS-wolf on different guns its very easy to
setup, the heads up shooting position i find no problem as i shoot off tripod shooting sticks.

Hi Brian,
I was born and raised in combs ford stowmarket as it happens

now living in hitcham.
Thanks for the advice, although im currently now the owner a kwik fit built by some bloke, a very friendy chap happend to have a used unit in the classifieds when I joined....
I did a great deal with my local gunshop just this morning, direct swap on my browning 20b for a new burris fullfield 6.5-20x50. Haven't tried nv on it yet but over the moon with the optics for normal use. Keeping my fingers crossed but parallax only goes down to 50yards so not sure itll give a great image for nv, either way its a keeper
