My dad and I are entertaining getting into Digital Night vision....not for anything super serious but as a learning experience. Anyone use the 750, 770 or 850 Digisights? What do you think about them? Just a genral impression is fine but if you want to wax on the subject, I would certainly not want to stop you. Thank you all for your input. |

I have the 750 and the photon XT 4.6. The 750 gives a significantly better image IMHO. Slightly wider FOV ( I think 7 degrees vs 5 degrees, but you'll have to check that). But that comes at 3-4x the cost and it is much bulkier. I have the photon XT on a 22 for coon, etc and it leaves much to be desired. I started with the 750 on a 300blk and it's taken many hogs, coyotes, and other critters. I can see critters out to 700 yards with the 750. More like 150 yards with the photon XT. Both require IR illumination, and while the on board illuminations are OK, I'd suggest a more powerful upgrade.
I've since developed more expensive taste and have gone primarily thermal. If you can afford it, do it. You'll be very glad you did. |
| My buddy has the 750. With a good illuminator it works just fine for what he uses it for. He hunts from a box blind with his shots being around 100yrds and im sure he could shoot twice as far if needed. I do know that the 1st one he had stopped working and he sent it back to pulsar and they replaced it with a new one very quickly. He was very pleased with the customer service and hasn't had any problems with the new one. |

Quoted: Any update? What Ilike is that it is light. That being said, it could use positive detents for windage and elevations shift and a bit more of a positive menu interface. you have to go slow with it or you'll "type ahead" as they used to say back in the day. That being said....so far, so good. It is amazing on moonlit nights or, in the city, when it is a cloudy night, all of the reflected light makes for a good picture. The IR function is very powerful. We're gonna get an invisible source next. |

As a matter of fact, yes!!! We got the 850. It's a lot of fun. I like the flexibility of the platform. My dad has shot some great groups with it at night at 100 and 200 yards with is mounted on my A2, of all things. What Ilike is that it is light.

Here's some tips: Though you CAN use in the daylight......the massive light noise makes the picture a bit blurry. LOL...somehow I could still shoot 1 inch groups with it at fifty yards. At night the picture is MUCH more clear. Next...get an add on battery pack. You will need it. The Pulsar has no BIOS battery so you lose zero if you pull batteries. IF, however, you have a battery add on, you can plug that in and it bypasses the on board battery storage so you can change batteries without losing zero. |
