mole trapper Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hi folks, everything seems to have gone cold on these, no reviews, vids or talk of them since April? What has happened? I was holding out for the glitches to be sorted before buying one to go on a 22 centrefire solely for 100-150 yard Fox work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 There have been a few firmware upgrades (the last was in mid September) - however, no matter how good they manage to get the software, the basic concept is all wrong for night vision work. and it will never be as good as a Photon, N750 or Drone Pro. The simple fact is that the X Sight is the best digital day sight available and about the worst digital night sight available.

SWShooter Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Photons are unbeatable for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay666d Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Photons are unbeatable for the money. Yes, I have this as an option I guess. It's not that I don't want to, but I can't afford to get a Drone Pro... I'm looking into setting up a dedicated night time shooter and I'm looking into optics. I should probably start a new thread.

fizzbangwhallop Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Need some reviews on the new photon 6.5...i had the last xt model but had trouble ..is the new photon any batter... I got hold of a 6.5XT back in June and was doing quite well with it before I upgraded the smaller 4.6 XT with a Pentax lens, I haven't look back since http://www.nightvisionforumuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12194&p=106223#p106223 This was before I upgraded my IR torches to the new AS series Oslon Black led - a massive improvement over the original OB led and this should be the first thing you do to upgrade. I had one of the original Photons when they first came out, fitted it with a doubler and for me it still drifted in and out of focus... the XT is much better. The reticle on the 6.5 just about covers a rabbit at 200m, I never bothered with a doubler in it. Cheers Fizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
