    Night Vision Pulsar Trail 1.6-12.8x42 LRF XP50 ?

    For the money, Trail XP50 isn't too bad. I use MKIII 60mm along with Radius and my hunting partner uses XP38 LRF. The trail line doesn't compare at all for image quality, but I have watched him shoot coyotes past 200 yards. The main thing I'd like to convey is that there is no depth...

    LNIB Vectronix Terrapin FDE

    There is no longer a "lack of service available" for these products. Vectronix was bought by a German company and they are standing behind all vectronix products.

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Scope Review: Zero Compromise, Tangent Theta, Schmidt

    @Dthomas3523 Because it's a locking turret, there are splines inside. If you aren't careful to aline the splines correctly they can be off just a bit. I may be wrong, but I think this could be where some people are getting a slight mis-alinement. The set screws can be very lightly tightened...

    Rifle Scopes Alpha Scope Review: Zero Compromise, Tangent Theta, Schmidt

    Everybody is concerned with the elevation turret lining up....understandably. However, I'm wondering if it might just be a result of the zero stop not being set correctly. I have already shot a match with the ZCO and it ran flawlessly. I was careful with setting the zero-stop and don't have...

    Night Vision reap ir vs xp50

    I had a IR Hunter MK II (similar internals to Reap IR) and a Pulsar XD38A. The difference in "picture" quality between the two is miles apart. The original price was $2K apart. When looking thru the Pulsar, it seems like it should cost less than $1K. NOTE: "had" IR Hunter MK II because it has...

    Night Vision IR Defense MK III x 60

    Thanks for your help. I appreciate and respect your knowledge of nightvision/thermal. I have read nearly all of your posts over the years. In using the term "over" I didn't mean shooting over, I meant watching over. No shots will be taken in line with or near any cattle. I will look into...

    Night Vision IR Defense MK III x 60

    Hey Wig, thank you for all that info!! I am using my 223AI bolt gun (PRS Trainer) for day time coyote hunting over calving cows. Based on the size of the main field I need to be able to shoot at least 600 yards. My MKIII has always been primary on an AR-15. From what you are saying, I...

    Night Vision IR Defense MK III x 60

    Does anyone have any experience running the IR Defense MK III x 60 as a clip-on? I would like to try running it in front of my Kahles K624i on a 223AI because for what I'm doing I will need to be able to shoot at least 600 yards. I've run this scope on an AR-15 since 2014 (it started out as a...

    How do you carry a tripod with a pack?

    Not being a smart ass, but I just carry mine in my hand. Over time I figured for me this was the easiest way to transport it.

    300 Blackout 8" 208gr Amax Subsonic loads?

    I would recommend trying H4198 also. I haven't tried it in a gas gun, but it works well in a bolt gun.

    Help with AR15 Load

    I run 26gr of Varget and get awesome results. I haven't tried IMR 8208XBR, but guessing it might also be a great choice.
