Thanks for the advice, all. I’ll admit I didn’t even look at the flags for wind-calling - I was cooking in the sun 😬 I was wondering why some of the coaches were using the ShotMarker app on a tablet AND a spotting scope - now I have a clue! It turns out my left sock full of parking lot gravel...

I’ll bet it’s a 24in - do those measure from the rear of the chamber (bolt face) or elsewhere, to the crown?

All, not consistent for sure. My 1st at 600yd and 1st with serious mirage. While shooting over grass, the target sometimes almost faded away. With old eyes (63, -7 diopter lenses, astigmatism and presbyopia too) I wasn’t sure if it was me or the mirage - probably some of both. I might be...

I left that 308Win part out - doh! And 175gn SMK - doh, doh! Yes, four sighters as I came down from 60 1/4 MOA clicks to 42 to hit. That target schema is what we were using - 6 inch X.

My first time shooting past 300yd, at our club’s annual “Shoot what you Brung" Prone Day. I was shooting a Rem700P 308WIN 24in barrel, with SWA 175 SMK and Bushnell 6-24x5- FFP scope, on 20x (glass gets hazy past 20x). The stock is OEM with an adjustable cheek riser added. Sunny, low 90s, very...

Washing ACU, Army Combat Uniform Hmmm... never though washing my cloths with Tide would make them easier to see at night.

FLIR MS-324 from Amazon ($2399.99) arrived yesterday. Flashed firmware with new software, as recommended by SkyPup, and configured with InstAlert instead of Maritime Red and now it functions the same as a FLIR PS-32 but with a yellow housing. For $600 less than a PS-32.

Great - thanks for the information. The obvious difference is the PS32 is olive green and MS-324 is bright yellow, but used in the dark, little difference. OK - maybe more visible to NV and in daytime, but for $600 off I can paint the housing ;-)

so is the Maritime version the same as a PS32 but cheaper? http://www.amazon.com/FLIR-First-Mate-MS-324-Handheld/dp/B005DJTZDQ#productPromotions

I didn't know the FLIR32 had user flashable firmware. That explains the USB vs batteries.

So what's the markup on a PS32? I've seen them as low as $2600 on ebay and have had luck with eBay Best Offer bids knocking 10% of lowest prices. As an off-the-shelf item, I'm not feeling vendor support is an important aspect, as manufacturer warranty is the main issue.

Hmmm... I got an email from PayPal saying that my Online Training subscription was cancelled. Sorry if I missed info on that elsewhere...

Thanks for the answer and the into Vic and Eric. Now that I pick through your website I see I'll do well do put my EOTech G33 3x on a TNVC twirst-off mount so I can alternate between magnifier and PVS-14 on the rifle with my EOTech XPS3-4. Ingenious! One question - when you say 1/3 cowitness...

Re: New NVG/IR Skill Builder Training Video Great stuff! All (well, very many) of my n00b questions answered.

Re: CIVL, (civilian ATPIAL/PEQ15) pics/info "co-aligned" - missed that, thanks! These guys are 8mi from my front door, but I don't get the facts & rumors any quicker here...
