When you say covers a multitude of sins , do you mean it hides blemishes or removes them?
I'm keen to get a longbow but I want to know I can get it fixed if it goes belly up and not for 3 grand
Tell you what I know, from what I have gleaned the commercial grade longbows £4K, over time had various tubes fitted , some been milled to fit, others with different connections etc, all clever stuff by my standards, cannot recall if it’s the inverted tube or non inverted which suits the longbow.
Then there were higher grade tubes fitted with higher price tag above commercial grade, gen3 etc.
Have basic commercial grade longbow which is fine, but no telling how long any tube will last, but in theory many many hours. Another couple of members on here shared their experiences and gave me some good advice on retube but decided for the money to run it into the ground, so to speak.
If day scope fails badly no fix, so just a lottery really am afraid to say, but others know far more than me on the technical joys of the longbow nv unit and it’s merits.
For certain you will get a nice one for under £2500 , after that it’s fingers crossed.

No, no hiding of blemishes or removal as far as I am aware, someone bought a tube which was supposed to fit , prior to refit on removal it did not but was adapted, and advised me not to do same.
Now use thermal scope more than longbow and for its age, use and abuse it’s had would not be throwing money at it, but have no complaints, if money no object would buy another just for the hell of it

A friend on here he a recent conversation with him , he said he’s doing new tubes and such at the minute.
I heard he is doing phosphorus tubes.
Isn't that the phone number of the old Starlight contact? Also, could anyone let me have the email address of the chap who does Longbow/Arcer repairs? Many thanks.
I will pm you
Thanks very much, Dave.
