Barrelsniffer Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Starlight Archer plus there other "Gen 3" is not a patch on the proper US gen 3 gear knocking around..i would compare starlights kit to gen 2+ and i have a Archer in a cupboard at home somewhere...but they do still do the job there meant to do.

abolter Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I have an Archer and a longbow and I have also seen through some US gear including ridiculously expensive thermal gear. I would not like to start with suggesting where to spend your money but I would say that you must beclear what you need it for and how much you need to spend to get what you need. The thermal gear could spot stuff at 1km!! However it costs £30k!!!!! My longbow can identify foxes out to 500m with decent atmospheric conditions (nothing works in bad ones). Although I accept that we would all like the best gear possible cost restricts us. You have to ask yourself wether you want to know its a fox at 300m or do you want to count the hairs on its arse???

abolter Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 another question to bear in mind is that a lot of "grey" or black market stuff is knock off military. So not only has it got no warranty then I also worry what happens when someone starts looking for their stuff. (or am I just paranoid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilM Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I must admit I really don't see why people looing at spending over £1500 would ever consider an Archer. Old tubes, often with lots of defects in the FOV too. Yes they are Gen3, and in that respect good, but as many people have said, a good Gen2+ will match its performance, if not being able to match it in terms of light gathering, they will kick the ass out of it in terms of resolution!. (And as civvies, we can add illumination in ourselves with lasers etc). Not bashing the technology as I have a dedicated NV sight that uses the same EEV Gen3 tube as the Archer, I put it together for about £700 though, and am pleased with the performance for my money. But if I was spending £1500-2k+ I'd certainly be waiting something like an Envis, PVS14 or a dedicated scope with modern tube. Not something sold for that money and marked as "D-Grade" etc. Just my 2p's worth! For those after an Archer though, theres a SH one to be found here; http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread.php?628151-Starlight-Archer-for-sale. (nothing to do with me btw!)
