    Night Vision Armasight zeus 3-30 thermal rifle scope-range review

    Exactly. Yes it has the 2x/4x digital zoom. Right its 2.8x native mag due to the 42mm lens. I think in NTSC which is the format for the states.

    Night Vision Armasight zeus 3-30 thermal rifle scope-range review

    I returned the scope to Armasight so they could update the software. So far the battery life is extended to over 2 hours and close to 3 if you count loosing the ability to access the menu. They were nice enough to throw in some goodies and batteries when they sent it back. I'm gonna have to run...

    Night Vision Armasight zeus 3-30 thermal rifle scope-range review

    Thanks, I've talked to them and they are extremely helpful and courteous. I'm sure they'll help me out. I also mis-typed when I said the battery run time was supposed to be 6 hours...actually the specs say " up to 4 hours..."

    Night Vision Armasight zeus 3-30 thermal rifle scope-range review

    OK. So I charged 3 sets of 3.2 volt rechargeables and got the same results, a little more than an hour of use. The only interesting thing is when the rechargeables went dead the unit went totally black. I prefer this to the other situation listed above because at least I know the unit is dead...

    Night Vision Armasight zeus 3-30 thermal rifle scope-range review

    So I finally got to the range with the Zeus today and there is good and bad to report. First off I was using this on a bolt action .22 using subsonic ammo that will host a Sparrow in the near future. I intend on using the Zeus on both 5.56 and my ruger 22. The Zeus was engineered to handle 308...

    Night Vision Armasight Zeus 3 Thermal Weapon Sight

    I was speaking to a sales rep tonight about my 3 thats on backorder. He mentioned that some complained about the lenses screwing off and that Armasight was taking care of that. He also said that some of the units currently in the field were demos and not finalized in design. Sounds like thay...

    Night Vision Armasight Zeus 4 Thermal Weapon Sight

    I'm sorry I never realized that a simple question I asked about the Zeus 4 would turn into such a $h.t storm! I just upgraded before I even got the 4 to the 3 so I'll move on to create a thread somewhere else. This site seems a bit uptight. Good night.

    Night Vision Armasight Zeus 4 Thermal Weapon Sight

    Like I said before I dont work for Armasight. I talked to the sales rep at length about the product. You can have your conspiracty theory if you like, but I have no reason to doubt what he said. Maybe in the past they did mfg. in Russia, I didnt ask him that.

    Night Vision Armasight Zeus 4 Thermal Weapon Sight

    Armasights ads pics For sure the images in all the ads are from the 640. You can tell if you look at the image that shows 8x magnification of the tire. The only FLIR Tau 2 Vox that offers 8x is the 640. For what I use it for the 160 is a minimum and should be adequate.

    Night Vision Armasight Zeus 4 Thermal Weapon Sight

    This will be the 4th thermal I've owned and the 160 is pretty familiar to me. What I look forward to is the 42mm objective and the fact its a new core technology. TAU 2. Besides, I cant afford the zeus 5.
