Rammer223 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 best just keep saving the pennies then sounds like I need new scope as well as nightvision, or stick to lamp and stop driving myself mad lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 I tried my Archer on a NF it was poor, the picture wasn't too bad but as the reticle on NF scopes is very fine and it was really difficult to see. I now use a Swaro Z6 gen2 2.5-15x56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now use a Swaro Z6 gen2 2.5-15x56. Hi Andy - What zoom do you end up using most? I have Z6i 5-30x50 and I think I like the idea of quickly converting to NV. Would you recommend this setup? Rammer - Acknowledge that I'm now hijacking this thread, but i think you've just about drawn up a conclusion (if not the one you wanted!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simon, Sorry to disappoint you but if your scope is a Z6i then you will struggle to couple the Archer to it because of the illumination housing. But in answer to your question I usually keep my scope on 8x mag, this gives me a good clear picture with a decent FOV if needed it will work at 15x but the picture starts diminishing. For illumination I use a N1000ap laser, with the Swaro I found it gives a better picture than a IR torch. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
