Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

The way you describe how its grouping sounds like a bedding problem.
Shouldn’t be since it’s sitting in a manners TCS with mini chassis but anything is possible at this stage. I might throw it in my spare PRS1 just to eliminate that variable.
I'd double check that chambering job. I had a nice cut rifled barrel that copper fouled like mad just like the OP. Took it to the gunsmith who nornally does all of my barrels (not this particular one though), and we noticed with his borescope that it looked like whoever did this barrel had managed considerable runout in the leade.

That barrel still shot okay, but 1/2 - 3/4 of the way down it collected copper like an Ozark meth head.
Haha Ozark meth head is a good analogy

Night Vision N Vision still one of the best?

Yes, within reason. I am referring to other standard commercial weapon sight thermals. At 4x the price, I would hope the UTC-Xii would have an advantage.

Price was never part of the original discussion. You mentioned software, form factor, but never price. At over a decade old it's amazing the UTC Xii still has "advantages". PoT is the Modern-Day variant that is readily available, updated software, and comes with a warranty.

Now if this is released anywhere near its rumored price and timeframe... Then this conversation may change 🤷‍♂️

Battling Mirage - How Mirage Can Impact POI

It took a little while for me to publish this video due to a back issue I've been having, but I finally got it out.

This one takes a look at the basics of mirage, and how it can impact your POI. You guys who regularly shoot in the desert probably know this and will laugh at us uninitiated, but I usually shoot in the hills where we don't get mirage that impacts our POI... or do we?

Excellent video, you should also post it in this section as well IMO
