abolter Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Cheers fella. Presumably you have it on a tight beam and the glare is minimal now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achosenman Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Funnily enough it doesn't seem to make any difference. I think it's far enough back to stop whatever it was reflecting off. I have gone from narrow to flood with no real change to the picture. ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also try taking the NM off the rifle and holding it like a lamp just to see if the picture improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cant get on with my NM800, I have tried everything single battery / double battery / searcher head / side mounting / etc etc etc, I still find my NV1000 superior to everything ! so Iam going to sell my NM it will be at a reasonable price, actually I have three with all the colors etc etc. Iwas thinking of getting the high powered one advertised by NVscopes to try.

achosenman Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 For me the NM800 glare problem was solved by mounting on the back of the scope. I think I will just use it until something better comes along. The laser that came with the Archer gives a clearer picture but the mount is not robust enough to withstand lying on the back seat of the wagon without needing a quick fine tune before taking the shot. It takes but a second but it is an irritation. Lets be clear here, we are talking about nothing that would hinder a shot with the NM. I was looking at the individual twigs supporting the leaves on a tree ranged at 282m the other night. On 24 mag coupled with the 2x lens on the Archer, I could almost see the ants crawling around.

abolter Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 many thanks, it occurs to me that then scope bell is probably casting a shadow from the IR over the back of the mod, thus eliminating the glare. never throught to try that. cheers big ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
