Spotters Spotting scope chassis.

Been struggling with spotting targets with my 45 degree spotter.
I decided to design a little frame to stick a cheap little red dot on with a M-lok slot on top. 3D printed it out of PLA for ease of printing. Seems to work really well and have saved me a ton of time spotting targets.

I kinda want to see some other chassis systems for Spotting scopes. I know the Badger SLICK system is out there. What are some things that can improve spotting time?

Super cheap. Vortex won't hold zero on a gun so might as well put it on something that doesn't recoil.
Thank you for your time.

Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRHS2 vs DMR3

Currently debating on buying one of these scopes, but I can’t decide which one as certain details on them are hard to find, I have owned a LRHs gen 1 and while I loved the scope I wasn’t a big fan of the glass as it wasn’t near as good as my US optics b-17 but that’s understandable by the price range…

is there anyone that has owned both and would be able to provide a comparison?

Is the glass in the gen 2 LRHS better than the gen 1?

Also I’m specifically referring to the newer DMr 3 with the G4p reticle

Last question… is there any scopes that would be recommended in 1000 dollar range that are a comparable value?

Thanks!

Analysis Paralysis....again

So, I recently decided to buy myself a new optic for a future build.
I have been eyeballing the Tract 4-25x50 and the Zeiss 4-25x50.
They both share a very similar footprint in length and objective lens diameter.
The Tract is heavier, it has yardage marks on the parallax (not the most important detail, but I do like the idea of having a guesstimation).
They both sport rather tall turrets, though the Zeiss is a Larry Bird Equivalent while the Tract is more of a Yao Ming.
The Zeiss comes with a throw lever that has three mounting bosses, the Tract does not.
I reached out to Ilya, he told me that the optical performance is very similar between the two. Of course, there are differences, but overall, they appear similar.
I have heard there were some issues with the Zeiss in regards to illumination, which were addressed under warranty.
Both are high magnification, short body scopes, so parallax can be finicky.
I do prefer the reticle in the Zeiss, but the tract seems liveable.

I tend to live in the 900-1500 dollar range, the tract falls comfortably in that zone (regular price), the Zeiss can be had for 1700 on sale but usually retails for 2200.
Does the higher price net me much more than a slightly better form factor?
Note: I would also consider the NX-8 2.5-20.
Thoughts? Experiences?

Thermal Advice

Looking to purchase my first thermal in the near future and could use some advice. It will be used on a AR10 .308. I’d like to stick to under $3K if possible but my absolute max is $4K. I’m currently using a Sightmark Wraith 4K DNV optic. I don’t hunt open fields. I’m shooting down senderos where a feeder is set up around 100 yards down in South Texas. This is mainly for hog hunting. I do like having magnification since my eyesight isn’t the greatest, so being able to zoom in for shot placement is important. Don’t want anything with an internal battery. Any advice would be much appreciated. These are some that I took a quick look at.

Accessories Aero solus bolt head std(trade for magnum)

I have a .478 bolt head I would like to trade for a magnum.. also have a 308 fluted barrel I would get rid of if the bolt head sold or swapped. Have 36 rounds on both of them with factory ammo. Would take 120 shipped for the bolt head or swaps, and 285 on the barrel (after bolt head deal)

Rifle Scopes Low light Comparison (TT ZCO Henny)

All other characteristics aside, has anyone compared these in just low light?

I’m trying to find one or even something better that’s a 400 yard and under scope.

Never tried a polar yet.
I hunt a location where I over look a river bottom full of cotton woods and it’s just so hard to see deer at times. No issues with the binos, but once the scopes on them, it can be difficult with the old eyes.

Thank you.
