Hello to all ,fairly new to the Air rifle game ,and looking to get some NV gear starting from the bottom.
I own a PP750 and a Gamo Varmint, with few scopes ,but still i m pretty green used to shoot a lot in my teens with a Diana 23.....
Will spend some time reading the forum ,but brace yourself for some dumb question.
Very knowledgeable in other domains(metal detecting and Chocolate)

Hiya and welcome to the forum.
I'll save you one query: Check with any night vision supplier if it is suited to springer air rifles, the 'double recoil' effect can rattle things loose, such as batteries - or worse.

G'day Regis,
I'll second some bloke: "the 'double recoil' effect can rattle things loose, ..."
I have a number of FAC springers including an old Webley-Scott Patriot [.25] shooting at about 29 ft. pds. One of my more mild springers [FWB 127, .22.] destroyed a brand new Bushnell Banner scope which was supposedly rated for air rifles in three [3] shots.

Re: Looking for enlightenment into the darkness
Might I suggest you make a PCP rifle the first buy - with maybe a red lamp till you are better funded.
