    Night range finding

    I love my RAPTAR for this role. Not cheap, but I don't have to come off the glass to use it and I can also point to others what I just ranged.

    Night Vision Finding Trustworthy NOD Builders?

    I have also used Peter. He built me a set of goggles that I have been bashing around with for 5 years now, about 600 hours on them between work, training and off duty use. They are still going strong.

    Night Vision New Uns 30 and scar 17 as host

    The PVS30 is rated up to 50BMG. I have put about 110 rounds through my 338LM with the 30 on top with no ill effects. I'm going to bet that you will be fine. reach out to your retailer and pose this questions and ask them about warranty under this use.

    Shooting a gas gun in cold temperatures

    And another user of this same trick. Had it work in my SPR'ish rifle in -20F conditions that made my Suunto watch LED's fade out.

    Night Vision KAC-Refurbished AN/PVS-30 from USNV

    Cake, it was an older Vortex that a friend has. I have to agree with Night Assassin, the S&B 5-25 is awesome with the PVS-30. The Lupey MK6 3-18 also works well with it. I'd like to try it with a Razor HD G2 to see how it works with CNVD

    Movie Theater Wind River

    I also broke down and watched it last night. Like WyFox, I have spent a whole lot of time on Wind River Res, just not as much time as he does. WRIR is an interesting place, to say the least. It's interesting to get pulled over just for driving on a side road...... sadly with in site of a friends...

    Night Vision KAC-Refurbished AN/PVS-30 from USNV

    I have used my '30 with a 1-8X26 Short Dot and it worked better than I would have expected. Even with low mag in the 2-3X range. While it works better with larger objectives it was still very functional With that said, I have been disappointed when mounting my '30 in front of other's mid grade...

    Extended Winter Op Gear Advice

    Even if you already have down jackets or pants these could also be used to great effect. Even Carhartt makes some good insulated stuff that could be used to help hide in plain sight

    Extended Winter Op Gear Advice

    Catwalks will have a special level of suck if it is cold and windy! I am also in the high Rockies, not 8000 MSL high, and in a rural area, but I feel your pain with this mission. Like others have said you will need layers and a good number of them, with how variable the weather can be. Beyond...

    Night Vision PVS 30 or Trijicon IR hunter ?

    Let me also add that while others say that you can have your center axis of the optic offset from that of a CNVD, mine are all centered with in a few 0.01's of an inch. With that said, you will need really good day glass to get that much magnification out of any CNVD. The reasoning for this is...

    Night Vision PVS 30 or Trijicon IR hunter ?

    I can clearly push the mag up to 18X with my Leupold MK6 and this works. With that said I don't normally run the mag that high due to the decreased FOV. With my PMII 5-25 I can push the magnification a bit higher, maybe 20X, but again I normally find myself down in the 15X range as it is easier...

    Night Vision PVS 30 or Trijicon IR hunter ?

    I love the crap out of my PVS-30/INTENS. It is rock solid and I have had no issues with zero shift at all (read as I can not tell a difference between my day and night zero's). I have no issues with focus back and forth between 2 rifles, I actually haven't refocused it in the last 7-10 outings...

    Cadex Defense Chassis

    While not the Field Comp, I am using a Lite Strike on my .338, little over 400 rounds through it so far and all is well. Very well built! I wouldn't hesitate buying a second chassis from Cadex.

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    These are my personal experiences in dealing with Cadex. Prior to making the plunge to purchase my chassis, I called Cadex with several detailed questions, that were answered quickly and very professionally with each call, even when calling late in the day on a Friday there was no rush to get...

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    Great looking rifles guys. I love my Cadex/Stiller build more and more every time that I get behind it. Hopefully I will have more pics to add in the next week or two, if a new digi cam arrives.

    Night Vision Who has the best price on a pvs-30?

    Most won't publish the price. It's worth making a few calls to different dealers. the one's who spend the most time on the Hide are in no particular order MOD Armory, I2 Technologies and TNVC et al

    Triad Tactical

    I've had the exact same experiences with Triad over the years and this is why I keep going back to them for items.
