dylan5588 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi all Has anyone got there hands on one of these yet? Also interested in any feed back on the drone pro. Cheers Danny. Hi, I spoke to starlight last week, and I could not pin them down on a supply date for the higher spec unit, I asked what distance I could expect using a NM800ir and they said about 180 yds, but much further if I used the quantum firefly lazer, which they make of course!! As I need to get out to 200yds + I decided to go for a Nite Tec nt300 from Marky610 off the nightvision forum, nice compact unit with video out facility, three models, nt120, nt200, and nt300, numbers refer to yardage capability.

Dac9976 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks for the info AJ. I've got an Archer but can't get used to the eye relief. The arrow looks a bit smaller but don't think it's going to be anywhere near as good as a Archer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylan5588 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Is the night tec a add on ?? Cheers Gaz Yes its an add on, very similar to the Ward d vision, and the starlight archer, when fitted to the scope your eye is about 4"- 4.5" away so about the same eye relief. If you go on utube and search nite tec nt300 there is a 13 min video of mark showing the unit. Its worth going on the nightvision forum, a lot of very knowledgeable people on there, I found it very interesting and informative, nice friendly bunch of guys always ready to help with advice etc .much the same as UKV.

How do they compare on price please? They add about 4" so eye relief is pretty much un changed, Prices are nt 120 and nt200- £475 and the nt300 £575 this is price at the moment, but pre vat registration. You would get more info if you go on the nightvision forum. I sould be getting mine in the next few days, When I do I will do a test and post a review.

Dac9976 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Just looked at the pics on SD.....it ain't floating my boat. Looks like I may have to go for a dedicated scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylan5588 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I looked at the starlight arrow at the show and I thought it looked horrible Don't no what to bye Gaz Yes its not the prettiest thing out there, Too high for my liking, the nt300 is quite low, and more compact, When I get mine I will let you all know how well it performs, and anyone who lives within range of me will be welcome to come and have a play!! The Photon is apparently very good for the money, but you cant easily switch it from rifle to rifle, I need an add on as it will be used on four rifles.

Akeld Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think the Ward-D vision only adds a couple of inches, not sure if supply issues have been sorted yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dac9976 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Go dedicated Gaz, these add ons seem to be a pain in the a##e. With decent mounts you can swap over scopes without losing your zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliveWard Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think the Ward-D vision only adds a couple of inches, not sure if supply issues have been sorted yet though A little more than that, depending on the rubber eye cup its adjustable between 75mm to 90mm depending on your day scopes eye relief and recoil characteristics of the rifle. It's the only thing on the market that doesn't affect your shooting position. No problems with supply at all these days. Cheers Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 90 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have a Drone Pro 10x fitted on a Tikka T3 .204 - personally I think they're excellent, I haven't heard anyone slagging them off yet & as said above people who own them are busy using/enjoying them rather than writing reviews etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dac9976 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have heard that they are quite good but no info on what sort of range you can get out of them. So if possible when you drone pro owners have finished saving the world is there any chance of a quick write up please:) Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 With my NM800IR I would say I can identify a Fox @ 700-800 yds - can watch Rabbits @ 500yds+ depends on the night & the lay of the land really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Good one Dac ( drone pro users saving the world !!! that means D-760 users are saving the universe !!! ) Have a look here at the drone being put against n750 & photon, it gives you a good idea what to expect from the unit.
