    Night Vision “Best” way to mount thermal sight to bolt gun

    So as the title says…what Is the “best” way to mount a thermal to a bolt action rifle? Most of the thermal units seem to be geared to AR platforms. Yes…I know Pulsar and iRay make “scope” style thermal sights, but I’m looking to mount a Nvision to my bolt gun. Thanks

    Another niggle for me. The sight has PiP...which I like. But....whoever wrote the software has their head up their ass. If you put the PiP in the top center of the screen...which for me is the "correct" and most intuitive place to put it. When you record video it puts the elapsed time timer...

    White hot seemed the best in the conditions I was shooting in. It was mid 50's but high humidity. You will just have to play with it. Also, from watching videos on sighting in a thermal, it seems my targets might have been too small. I did go out last night coyote calling. Again...not great...

    Got the S35 mounted and hit the range. This is my first time sighting in a thermal. So I am not sure I did it the right way but I git it done. I used many different targets....box covered in tin foil with black tape as a cross, white paper with a shoot n see, etc. Anyways. So i stated at 25...

    Night Vision New to the thermal world, help needed!

    I have a new…took it out of the box and fondled it and and put it back in the box…Steiner S35. Sell it to you for $2800.00 plus shipping of your choice. Will ship with two sets of batteries. PM me if interested.

    Yes, when looking at the zeroing menu it gives you different magnification to zero at. Its been raining here so I have not had a chance to get to the range. will follow up once I get some time behind it.

    I just received mine. The manual on how to zero it is VERY helpful 🙄. Wifi has very short range it seems. And the zoom is not friendly at all. I wish it had options to go fron base mag to 4X or even 2X. This is my first thermal but for the price I felt it was a "cheap" way to get into...

    my eyes don’t work with iron sights so no use to me. I like the clean lines of no irons. Plus this is not a combat rig so the chances of ever needing BUIS is slim to none for me.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I "modernized" my lever gun...

    Was able to get to the range today and sight in the rig. I was going to be happy with 1 1/2" - 2" groups. So groups like this made my day...especially with my old eyes and only a 6X scope. Off of a bench with bipod and rear bag at 100 yards with Hornady Leverevolution ammo. 5 shots. The...

    As far as I know, Ruger is not making anything currently in any other chambering, only 45-70. But Henry makes them in pistol calibers. They are a lot of fun. I get it….some folks on here think antique firearms are the thing for me. Me…not so much. I grew up on Louis L’Amour, Zane Gray, John...

    Yeah....well...I'm in Calif., so no fun toys here. When I move I will do a 45-70 SBR.

    Not sure of the total. Was given the friend discount. If you go to the websites I mentioned in my original post, you can see the prices. The Machining and finishing will probably be the largest cost depending on who you use. Check out MadPig customs. They build some really cool rigs.

    Drop in. Check out Chisel Machining for the stock and they now make a matching forend.

    With my eyes, open sights just don't work. So I figured let's go all out in this build if I'm going to make it an optics only rig. Hoping to get to the range with it this week to sight it in.
