Night Vision Andres TigIR 6z+ thermal clip-on

I use my ClipIR X-ELR more nowadays for distance shooting and I want to get a Voodoo-S for helmet mounting, so the Tig is up for sale. It is in very good condition, works perfectly, takes more magnification than anything else in its size class, and comes with everything - factory hard case, manual, all the cables, all the different Era-Tac mounting plates of different heights, etc. I'll also throw in two sets of the rechargeable 16650 batteries for it, and maybe even a charger if I can find one (I think I have a couple extras lying about). $6500 shipped.

Accessories Resco Hooper

DLC Orange Hooper, self winding. One small scuff around the 2 o’clock area which will be highlighted in pics. Just had a new stem installed a few months ago. Asking 1450 shipped, PP F&F or you cover fees with G&S, USPS MO, or FTF if close enough.

What’s Included

A custom made strap made by Aaron Pimental(Aaron Bespoke, Combat Straps) up in Canada. It is sized to a 7-1/2 or 8. Material is American Bison with tangerine accents. Original box and strap bag from Aaron is included.

Resco Hooper band, never worn but I took the plastic off to see how it fit. These are not made anymore, so once all existing stock is gone, used will be the only way to get one.

Standard one piece nylon strap that shipped with the watch, hard case, strap pin tool, and what paper materials came in case, and a Resco sticker.

Southern Defense ammo BEWARE!

What a scam....... I ordered some ammo from them, they split it into
2 orders than charged me 2 shipping charges!! But that wasnt all
Of it......they have their own bogus " shipping insurance " charge they add onto every order, website is rigged to add it at the end no matter how you try to delete it. Never again.
When I complained about all this BS, they simply told me to buy ammo else where.......
So you have been warned. Redditt is LOADED with same complaints from DOZENS of others.
Small time con artists that should be avoided

Soviet Typhoon-3 rifle [ Тайфун-3 ] - not a Sniper, only Rimfire but I think vintage

At first I posted that thread in Rimfire Section but was advised to also ask for assistance at Vintage Rifle section - so here is my question :

I wonder if there are Colleagues who might have knowledge about Soviet Typhoon-3 rifle [ Тайфун-3 ]?
According to quite limited Russian web sources Typhoon-3 rifles were produced from 1969 till 1979 and only 130 rifles in total were manufactured. A pair of rimfire and centrefire rifles were designed - Typhoon-1 in 7,62x54r and Typhoon-3 in .22 LR. They were suposed to be used by top level sport shooters in USSR - it was not the rifle for recerational shooting at sport clubs for amateurs.

Тайфун-3 production data.png

I happen to acquire a Typhoon-3 rifle, unfortunately without original documents, manual, factory accessories - there is even no story to buy- no info about the rifle's past, where was used, by whom, how it get to Poland - nothing.
When looking at the rifle, it turned out that it has mismatched serial numbers - receiver and bolt have M247 serial number, while the handguard and stock have "1202", the base of the front sight is also marked with s/n "1202" (?!), while the rearsight has s/n "235" - so it seems that it is a Frankenstein assembled from 3-4 different rifle parts :cry:

The beast is so rare that despite those faults I decided to buy it anyway.

What I would like to know? First - it there were only 130 rifles produced how my rifle can have s/n M 247? How do they numbered the rifles? There is no manufacture date stamped but I guess my rifle should be from the late production period. In UK there is a Typhoon-3 rifle with s/n M 060. Was there an export version of Typhoon-3? My rifle is marked on the top of the receiver "MADE IN USSR VOSTOK <ГИС> M247" - if only top Soviet shooters were to get that rifles why bother to mark it in English? What about the stock serial number - it should match the rifle - mine has a "huge" serial number 1202 - what was the pattern in stock markings for Typhoon-3?

Here is my Typhoon/Frankenstein :
Typhoon-3 M247 1202.jpg

I'll be grateful for any info concerning Typhoon-3 production batches, markings etc.

Newbie again

Hello all. I was a member years ago but life got in the way. I moved from the people's republic of MA to AL about six years ago. Sadly, I have not had the time to shoot since I moved. This is partly because I could not find any nearby ranges. I am settled in and I am making the time. I am working on a backyard range that I can use to work up loads. I've gone on a suppressor quest. And I am re-engaged with forums like SH where I learned so much in the past. Mostly reading now. A lot has changed-in the forum and in the sport.

Rifle Scopes Is a Viper PST Gen 3 coming???

Looking at the current line up of Vortex Scopes it seems as though they’ve come out with new products that compete directly with the PST gen 2, with a hole right above where the gen 2 currently sits as the razors have bumped up a smidge.

It seems the strike eagle line has taken over that spot a bit and the strike eagle LPVO line definitely has started to overshadow the gen 2 1-6 options.

Is there a new viper PST Gen 3 line coming soon?
I’ve been wondering this for a few months now… I just have no clue.
