    NX vs ATACR

    My main takeaways from owning both at the same time is that zone 3 of the nx8 on 1x has some distortion vs atacr, but zone 1 is true unity while it's 1.05x or so on atacr. Depth of field is better on atacr at 6-8x as outer zone 2 and out on nx8 has some distortion and atacr is flat. Eyebox on...

    NX vs ATACR

    I haven't actually measured fov, but in that video I posted in this thread, the atacr is aimed at a hill significantly closer than the flat area by the river than the nx8 is aimed at. Pretty impossible to draw conclusion from. However, I did take this photo series: Diopter on both is set to...

    Night Vision Vis Laser Power

    I'm using a 75mW red viz, and it works very well, although the trace in clean air is rather dull vs green. I use it for coyotes.

    New 4 oz. AIR BRACE Cantilever Mount, American Rifle Company Black Friday Sale

    That's a whole lot of small stuff to break. It looks sexy, but I'll wait a bit on it to see how it shakes out.

    Rifle Scopes NF 1-8 ATACR failure

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    Did anyone ever find a battery that fits? So far I've tried Panasonic and Surefire cr123, and both are hit/miss due to diameter.

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    They granted me access. 5122 is the update rev. I noted much reduced auto nuc frequency and maybe a hair less lag.
