LENS CAP. The riflescope’s lens is covered with a plastic cap. The lens cap is fixed on the scope’s body for better loss prevention.
POWERING UP the unit and the built-in IR illuminator is carried out successively by gradual turning of the selector switch.
Customer Reviews:
I was having big problems with unwanted night visitors to my backyard. I
first mounted a flashlight to my pellet rifle, but the animals would
see it and run long before I could get a shot off. I bought the Pulsar
N550. I also have a night vision security camera system set up. When
the alarm would sound I would grab my Umarex Octane pellet rifle with
the Pulsar N550 mounted on it. None of the dangerous animals that I was
having no luck getting rid of had no idea they were being locked in on
and I could put them down before they even knew what hit them. I put
down a 50 pound coyote with one shot in his left eye, I couldn't believe
it when it happened. I expected to see him just run off like all the
other times, but he dropped instantly. My property abutts an area where
there are lots of coyotes and I am constantly concerned about
protection for my grandchildren and pets. I now have one less coyote to
worry about. The N550 is absolutely awesome and at a great price. I
recommend it to anyone looking to do any kind of night shooting. Any
nights that there are no varmints to worry about I have a small shooting
range set up with pop up targets so I can keep sharp when I need it
most. I have now gone 2 straight weeks on no night time visitors at
all. With all the things that cause stress in a person't life the N550
have given me one less thing to worry about. Buy it you won't regret
it!!
Pros: easily mounted, very clear view, easy to zero, choice of reticals
Cons: none that I have found so far
