After having a Athlon Talos 4 x 16 on the previous Ranger XR in 177 I opted to go a little shorter on Spector II (x2) and saw the VO Veyron 4 x 16 x 44mm IR came out. I was able to find one and it arrived a few days before the replacement Ranger XR in 22 cal came.
Yesterday, I used both the gun and the scope for the first time, and here are my impressions of the Veyron 4x16 IR FFP (No battery was included (cheap asses) and I have forgotten twice today to get a battery at the store.).
As a former owner of a 3x12 FFP Veyron, I have an idea on the glass quality and reticle. In the 3x12 the glass was good for the price point, and for me at low power, the reticle was hard to see. In the 4x16 IR FFP the (gen 2) glass is better and a big improvement in being able to seee the reticle at different magnificants. However, it is "thin" compared to the FFP Talos I on the 177 Ranger. Also, the turrets seem better.
Size wise, the Veyron suits the gun better (yes I know @L.Leon ) than the Talos. Also, I like the little extra magnificent for the longer shots, even though the Ranger is 50 yard sub gun. (excuse the messy kitchen and I have my sideshot mount on it, and it is TIGHT without a mm to spare.). And yes, those are Eagle Vision rings.s
