I had a chance to handle a SMG45 a while back & was very impressed with the build quality & ergonomics. I have really wanted a .45 PCC for a while & I think the LWRC is the modern day Thompson. - with improvements , suppressor & optics ready, lightweight & compact with the SB brace. They are...

I say spend the extra & get a Reap. For one thing the Pulsar looks long so I looked it up. Almost 16" long! That is crazy. The Reap is 6.28" Reap lighter as well. Also the Reap has more advanced core - 12 micron sensor vs 17 for Pulsar. Better frame rate as well 60 vs 50. And I prefer...

I personally have had no problems with Optics planet. They ship pretty timely, take returns back with no problem. Free shipping over $49 & can always find a coupon for a discount. Used some of my Credit bucks for a Sig Romeo 1 RMR, soft case for the REAP & a SB Tactical brace for a Rem TAC-13...

Optics Planet has a web page for price matches. Put in your info & either the web page of the competitors lower price or a attachment such as a quote.

Don’t forget there is one other advantage to the version 2 - the easy zero function. I have played with the settings but have not tried it yet with live fire, but it is a definite advantage over the V1. And from shopping for Reaps, I did not see any price advantage of a getting a V1. Both...

Ok, got you.

Well technically I paid ^$6399 shipped. Optics Planet was running 10% back in store credit for memorial day. So I got $640 to spend in the future.\ And when you say traded - what was the actual price of the your Reap V2?

I spent ALOT of time searching for the best price on a brand new Reap 35mm Version 2. Checked with every known seller/store I could find. Best price was $6399. Curious where did you find a brand new one ( not a demo) for under $6K?

Appreciate the battery tip. I have a good stock of Surefire & Energizer, but I will buy a box of 50 next round.

Got ya. Yes I have already lowered screen timeout to 3 seconds. Everything is working fine. That NUC issue is the only thing that confused me. Very curiosu to try the Easy zero to see how that works. And this is certainly the most expensive scope I've bought. I don't think we can mess things up...

Thanks for the info. I'm a newbee, my first Thermal- I think this was a false alarm. Just got this thing Friday afternoon. What I was doing was toggling to the NUC as unit said calibration needed ,Toggle forward or back as this starts the NUC. It would say "calibrating close cover" then...

I actually just turned it on and did a NUC, Took about 1 minute, kept checking, said "calibating close cover" message. That seems longer that it should to complete.

Just got a Trijicon Reap. Just curious what the average time is for a NUC. Seems to take about 2 minutes for me, wondering if that is normal. Thanks

I've been playing around with the position, but for me anyway it needs to be pretty far back to open up the shuttered eye cup & get a good seal. Good thing I have extended charging handles.

Well, just learning the menu system. Will say it is built like a tank. Love the DLOK mount. Used it handheld last night around the neigborhood,& the image quality is fantastic. Tales great still images, even though there is not a easy way to download them. Found I like the white hot settings...
