    Rifle Scopes What is your favorite rifle scope?

    I like my nx8, but really, this goes for all Nightforce optics I've had. They are, optically, "serviceable", but where my real appreciation is, is that I can count on them. They dial true and retain zero. There's a lot to be said in being able to rely, whether it be on people, processes, or things.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    The bracket goes on the lock ring. The objective is not a suitable mounting point.

    I want to say something slick, but my US made uberkit's weak showing kinda slapped that smart out my mouth.

    This is the TAD?

    Can you "feel" the extra heft of the eCOTI, or is that nonsense just lost in the mix?

    So I can capture AND delete, but that's it (unless I get the cable)?

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    What can I say? I was drunk and angry at a coyote when I ordered it. I balance impulsivity with 'tism and fear of change, and it just is what it is.

    Absolutely. I am just looking for an excuse to snag an eCOTI honestly, but if the TAD is the best platform, then well, I hope they fix it soon because I am impulsive, lol!

    My manual says "2m for 2 hours" in the back. Interesting that they'd nerf the specs from the social media claim. *I just went and looked at it.

    TAD is 1 or 1.5m, as I recall.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    For sure, but Id hate to be pumping data into the card that I can't erase. Seems like it would be a bad idea.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    ...and yet, I have performed a T&E with almost half a dozen failure aspects in a few hours, as a filthy casual. So forgive me for wondering if $2500 is all for ATAK software. I know the eCOTI is much more environmentally sealed, but am curious about the rest.

    Also...if you take a picture with eCOTI, can you review it, delete it, etc via the unit itself, or is it just forever on the disk and unaccessible unless you have the cable?

    Soo....if you could only have a 100% functional TAD or an eCOTI...?

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    At this point, I am torn between getting my TAD fixed, and just upcharging for the eCOTI. Does anyone have both on hand that can speak to actual performance between the two? My thoughts: If the TAD made it out the door with problems some dipshit midlevel office manager in BFE Missouri can...

    I know I'd want it fixed. Contact TNVC, they will contact SAFRAN/O1, and they will hand out the RMA directly.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Looks like a fix will be in very soon, per TNVC.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yeah, I know TNVC will make things right, regardless, but it just sucks to wait some more. My alternative plan if they can't sort it is just trade for credit toward an eCOTI. I really value what the thermal overlay brings to the table for my setup.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Was all this actually useful, or did you find it more cumbersome throughout the night than anything ?

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Can you explain that? Intellectually, I get it, but put me behind the unit. EX: TAD I hold the power button, it comes on, I press the button sequence to go to menu, then I go to the settings for the preset and select desert or arctic or whatever, then the menu goes away, it is what it is. I...
