    Night Vision Talk to me about the SKEETIR-L

    My experience has been that the Skeetir-X also gets pretty blurry at above 3X through a (S&B) day scope. Seems to excel more at helmet mounting/handheld due to limited magnification range.

    Night Vision SKEETIR-X QUESTIONS

    Am a losing anything at above 1X magnification clarity-wise by going with a variable optic (Schmidt & Bender 1-8 Dual CC) versus a direct view like an ACOG/ELCAN when using the skeetir? I wish I didn't sell my Elcan to check this myself, but I needed a scope with a diopter and got the S&B.

    Night Vision SKEETIR-X QUESTIONS

    Thank you gentleman for the detailed explanations! Very helpful. So the real answer is: I need another optic. I will use the skeet as a scanner and get a UTC or LTWS-LR. Former would be nice for being able to use tracIR. Latter got a real good right up by DRT.

    Night Vision SKEETIR-X QUESTIONS

    For a 3x magnification (which seems its practical maximum, even through its spec'd out up to 5x), is a day scope or a (objective-attached) magnifier the best way to get the clearest 3x image on the skeetir-X? And is there much difference, if any, between the two clarity-wise? I realize the...

    Night Vision Trijicon Patrol - clip on capable?

    I need helmet mounting capability. Otherwise LWTS could be very right.

    Night Vision Trijicon Patrol - clip on capable?

    The laser isn't really a feature I need. I plan on getting a Raptar S at some point so having trac IR could be good. Was really hoping for a voodoo, but that is way out time-wise. I have a better shot of finding a skeetIRX. Is the screen quality difference very noticeable?

    Night Vision Trijicon Patrol - clip on capable?

    I am getting mixed responses from various sources on whether the patrol can be used as a clip-on. Any idea what its real capabilities are regarding being a clip-on? Compared to a SkeetIRX, it is missing tracIR, a laser, and 1x magnification. Definite clip-on capable through. Anything else...

    Night Vision Cratos versus SkeetIRX

    Choid - mulitple purpose: SHTF; hunting; and just fucking around. Tough call because I do like the option to helmet mount. Still thinking :geek:

    Night Vision Cratos versus SkeetIRX

    Cratos versus SkeetIRX. Best one? Nod to SkeetIRX for helmet mount capability. Is that enough to make it the best? Help me spend my money.

    Wig, please PM price. Thank you Sir! Skip that, saw price, thank you. Still interested. Selling stuff this weekend (maybe my Cratos ... jk)! I really need to not be on this site, or rather my wallet would appreciate it. It's feeling weak lately :) :)

    Night Vision Best thermal scope for 6k

    They are claiming 2000 yards effective range. Is that correct :p?

    Night Vision Breach versus Coti

    After years of faithful service I sold my Elecan SpectreDR 1/4x last month. Reason, no diopter (getting older). Went to Schmidt and Bender 1-8CC. Lacks some of the features like etched reticle but goes to 8x and is lighter with the mount. Nothing to discount with that brick, although a well...

    Definitely will check out the Cyclops. You had me at diopter :)

    Night Vision Breach versus Coti

    Thank you all for the advice. Given the 3K Coti price, I think I'll grab one and try to sell it when the E-coti's become available. I really want a skeetIRX as its weapon mountable and see's great but I need something with that capability at a more reasonable number than 15K. I'll keep...

    lol - OK so maybe I am heading into "overdoing it". You can let me know that too - lol

    Night Vision Breach versus Coti

    Application is SHTF/self-defense. I have a PVS-14, a DTNVGS, and a MAWL coming. DTNVGS on head, PVS-14 and MAWL on rifle. Which would you recommend and why? Breach versus Coti. Or even MH25 possibly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
