I bought the .177 and it's very good.

I've got the Yukon Photon XT on mine, on the Rapid it was too heavy and I had to use reach forward mounts to clear the mag. On the TDR I use Sportsmatch fully adjustable mounts and it shoots bang on, the last rabbit victim was at 42 yards.
I've stripped it and removed the AT caps as they even got in the way of polishing the hammer rail which, after only 3 years was a bit rusty. I also installed a de pinger but it hasn't done much good as mine is all spring twang, so I'm looking at rubber wrapping the hammer spring and removing the de pinger.

Mine shoot bang on so leave as is, handy as out though.

I can't fault my TDR of course in .177, so light and inconspicuous in the case , just another guy with a back pack.
Not tried with the NV but with my hawk panorama 3x9x50 it's a great nin the field as well as in buildings sorting out the ferrels
and rats, had it now for about 5 years and it's deffo a keeper.

Just to join the love for the TDR :mrgreen: I got hold of a second hand one through the old site a couple of years ago and have found it to be excellent.
Not the easiest to get used to if you are tall and lanky but well worth persevering with as it is as accurate as you like.
Taken all sorts with it, close in rats, long range rabbits off a bipod, and plenty of squirrels out of the trees as well.

And as people have said, it all packs down into an innocuous looking case that no one is really going to look twice at. 8-)

If I ever have to reduce my collection it will be one of the last to go!

If I ever had to replace my beloved Scorpion it would probably be a TDR Mick. The versatility of being able to carry them in that nice unobtrusive back pack is a winner. :)
