    Night Vision Clip-on Thermal Question

    Running the M300w is a much more painful setup than running a SkeetIR. To use SkeetIR to shoot, all that needed is to clip the unit in front of the day optic, eliminate parallax or get the pixels sharp at the higher powers and you are GTG. There is no sight in menu even if you wanted to make...

    Night Vision Clip-on Thermal Question

    When you run a pair of SkeetIRs as goggles, the works perfectly in binocular vision. That is a good way to tell how “aligned” your optics are. Running an m300w and a SkeetIR together will make you dizzy. Running any optical system that isn’t aligned will do that. As you focus the m300w...

    Night Vision Clip-on Thermal Question

    The SkeetIR does have a diopter adjustment however the optic is spot on after you get your pixels sharp through your scope. It is reasonbly within an moa or 2. I have one (BAE release) and use frequently as a clip on with various 1-8 power optics. Despite the collimating rear objective, the...

    Night Vision Clip-on Thermal Question

    All the BAE units (SkeetIR, UTM, UTC) are real collimated clip on units. They shoot within a reasonable POI (probably within 2 moa). The Trijicon SnipeIR is not a real clip on. You still have to sight it in by moving the screen to produce the same image position in space as you see with your...

    Night Vision Reap IR or MK3 60mm

    I tend to use the TSR reticle. The lines give me quick guesstimate on hog distance. The subtensions change as you dial up the power though.

    Night Vision Reap IR or MK3 60mm

    I’m running the Mk 3 60 and the m300w and find this an ideal combo. For hitting coyotes over 150yds, I would definitely get the Mk3 60 over the ReapIR. The additional optical magnification will work well for your application.

    action with integral 20 moa rail built in vs a separate rail ?

    Integral top rail adds considerable stiffness to the action.

    Hunting & Fishing Eld-M or BTHP on pigs???

    Shoot them in the nervous system and anything works. My main hog bullet out of a 308 is a 178 Amax. Recovered a few and they perform nicely.

    Night Vision Need a Thermal scopes for long hog hunting

    M300w will work for you out to 100 maybe 200. It isn’t a collimated true clip on optic so you would be disappointed running it as a clip on. I mount other clip on units like the L3 LWTS to a front rail on my KMW stock, on the rail on AIAX, and on the rail DTA.
