Night Vision EOTech ClipNV vs. L3 CNVD-LR

Because… why the hell not?!

Basically, there really are no compelling reasons to go with weapon mounted Night Vision over thermal. You can make the age old argument of PID, but for hunting hogs and yotes, and other things that go bump in the night, there really is no substitute for thermal. PID on those critters is mostly a joke.

But, since we happen to have a few Night Vision clipons, we might as well see which one is the best of the best at coming in a distant second place to thermal. Some of you might complain “Horta! The CNVD is an LR, but your ClipNV is an SR, so this is an unfair comparison!“

Shut your pie hole, Karen! We don’t care about your little limp wristed complaints here in Hortaville. Get back to us when both your testicles have dropped!

The real fact is, both of these are basically priced identically. The LR version of the ClipNV is another $2000 on top of the SR price. I paid almost exactly the same price for these two units, hence the direct comparison.

ClipNV has a 2835 FOM Elbit WP tube. L3 has (of course) an L3 WP 2376 MIN FOM (no sheet) tube.

We’ll be putting both in front of an SB 3-27 scope tonight and find out who’s more well-endowed. The ClipNV is designed for 1-12x scopes where the 2124LR should push past that with little problem.

As you can see by the faux toes, while the L3 is considerably longer than the EO, the L3 actually weighs a fraction of an ounce LESS(!!). The EO is hewn from a medieval blacksmith anvil and feels just like the PVS-22 of yore. You could drive railroad spikes with this thing. The L3 feels more “delicate” and I wouldn’t want it to fall off the table.

SOLD Hog rifle 700, Cadex, N/V

SOLD Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50 Mil in Warne Mountain Tech Rings

Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50 with Mil reticle mounted in Warne mountain tech rings low with MKM bubble level. This is my second Ares ETR and I picked it up on impulse when I couldn't believe the sale price EuroOptic had them for, but I have more scopes than I have rifle to put them on and don't actually need it. In like new condition; just mounted din rings and taken for one range trip.

Awesome scope that punches well above its price point especially if you pick it up at this price.

$620 shipped for just the scope or $720 shipped with the rings and bubble level.

The Mil version is out of stock and even if you did pick it up at the sale price it cost more than this after you add in tax.

Barnard S heavy (ier) bolt lift

Hi
I got a used Barnard S rifle. Tested it out and seemed fine.
Now, if I close the bolt and lift it, there's just a tiny lift pressure. More or less the same as my other Zermatt rifle. If I close the bolt, pull the trigger, with no round in the chamber of course, the lift is considerably heavy than without pulling the trigger. Is this normal? What causes this?


Thank you

Night Vision Guide Thermal clip-ons, experience?

Anyone here that have experience with Guide’s thermal clip-ons?

More specifically their TB Pro series:


These are starting to trickle into the European market, at a price that is reasonable.

I know it’s not Oasys units, but I wondering how these would stack up against Pulsar units.

Tripod sandbag question

Hey guys, for those of you that run an attached sandbag on top of your tripod like the cole-tac for instance, do you run it with or without a head?

I'm sure it's prob possible run it with a head but it seems like that would be weight for nothing.

Do you really need the ball feature when you have a flexible sandbag?

Can you attach something like this directly to the tripod without a head and is it a good idea?

SOLD Off market

I have an extra Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 that I’m looking to sell. It’s a C641, second focal, MOA. Scope has been set in rings but never torqued down. Never been outside my house. Come with everything that is shipped with the scope new.

$1750 shipped lower 48. Zelle, check or money order.

Logistics of Organizing a Hunter Match

I’m in the concept stage of planning a match and need some starting points on things that need to be addressed.

It will be a fund raiser as well as a primer for hunting season. So it’ll be simple stages tailored for the local population who isn’t into competing.

What are some logistics I need to take care of as far as legal, liability, etc? Is it even worth doing as a fund raiser once all the things are accounted for?

It would be on private land, not a dedicated range. I know things vary by state, but looking for a general idea.
