One of the joys of being a good egg and all that, is that nice people give you nice things to play with! (Scott Country are a major sponsor of the GB .50cal team) So, yesterday this arrived in the post for me to try out! New pulsar 750. Once this rain stops ill see how it performs. Took 4 rounds to zero it last night, but then the fog spoilt our plans. It is sat on a Blue printed.223 Remi 700 with a 16.75" inch barrel, timney trigger in a Macmillan stock with badger ordnance bottom metal and a Valkyrie customised 308 mag to take the .223 rounds to extreme long length.

I've got a T67 IR coming for it from Scott Country, but to be honest I don't think it will need it, the built in unit was more than enough last night and it has numerous settings!

Not used a 750 but had a 550 for a while .i think you will find extra ir will transform the picture.was thinking of getting rid of my 550 as the picture wasn't much use after 100y or so the i tried a nm 800 on it and it was like a different sight.not saying the 750 will be the same but i think it will benefit from more ir

I have a 750, great scope but with a nm 800 on the side it improves the pic quality and viewing distance massively. Can see a fox at 3 or 400 yards with this set up ;-)

Like the others have said the MN800 makes a lot of difference Mike. I've been using the N550 since they came out and I'm looking to up grade but not sure what to get. The N750, the Drone or the new ATN, I wish I could look through all three at the same place.

I've got the X sight coming in the new year to run on our ARs for CSR and foxing. Should have the 850 and some thermal to play with too after xmas (may have thermal before ) Don't have a drone, but am sure we can arrange something! All the units will be at the shooting show along with a NV tunnel. We will have them on our stand and the Scott Country stand.

I replaced my 550 with a drone and i happy with the change.i found that the 550 wasn't very user friendly with the rifle at the shoulder i couldn't ever reach the focus as it was too far forward ,looks like the 750 is the same setup.image through the drone is excellent and i think the 750 is said to be better but for me the drone wins on ease of use.like tisme i'd like to see them side by side also got my pulsar hd 50 last week and its good stuff

If Tiffs having a RRC in Dec maybe we should all bring our NV kit for each other to have a look through.

I've had a peek through a mates drone and thought it was an excellent bit of kit! I have the n750 but think I would have preferred the drone for over all look and ease of use. Not done a fair comparison on the performance but first impressions seemed as good if not better than the 750. That said, the latest n750 model has a built in range finder! now that is handy! Also had a look through a pulsar hd38s thermal last night... Wow, what a bit of kit! I NEED one!!!
