    New Sig CROSS

    Anyone tried out the Sawtooth in 6.5cm, preferably the 18” version? Bought an original cross for my 2nd son, and honestly wasn’t that impressed with the accuracy. Good enough, but felt it would have greatly benefited from a better barrel. 3rd son is now ready for his “grown up” rifle and looking...

    ZEISS LRP S3 4-25 For Hunting?

    On a 6.5cm AR10. Use it for animals (pigs, coyotes, deer, and elk) out to 600m, and steel out to 1000m. Agree with above that eyebox is fine up to 20x. Keep it in that range and won’t have any issues. I’m not getting rid of mine. Just wanted to be clear on some of its limitations.

    ZEISS LRP S3 4-25 For Hunting?

    I’ve been running the S3 4-25 on my primary hunting rifle for about four months now. Glass is excellent, as are the turrets. Reticle is usable on low end with the illumination on. Have used it at 4-6x adequately with a thermal clip on. Two issues with the scope. Eye box is pretty damn tight...

    Stock conundrum

    Have two KRGs currently and about to build out a third. MDT mags have been perfect in them.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Currently building that almost exact same setup for my youngest son.

    Help me spend my money: Seekins

    Agree with above comments. I would even say if shooting past 400 consistently you’ll be glad you chose the 6.5 CM. Much easier to spot hits and misses.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    That’s a tough one. I’ve been using thermals for over 25 years, whether in the military or for hunting. With experience you can ID stuff much better based on temperature, movement patterns, and shape. My almost ten year old pulsar 384 scanner is still what I primarily use to find animals, and...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    Trying out the new Athlon clip on and have been impressed so far. 6.5cm shooting 100 ELD VT. Coyote at 179m. Sow nursing piglets when I shot at 94m.

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    179m with new Athlon clip on. 100 ELD VT out of a 6.5 CM are not fur friendly.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Barn is actually at 800ish, didn’t clear the range when scanned over. Windmills are about 2km away. Lone cow at 737m.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    First piggy with the Athlon. Thought I had autorecord for video turned on but it wasn’t. 94m with 6.5cm, 100 ELD VT. Thermal worked perfectly again.

    What FPS are you getting out of your 16" barrel 6.5 creedmoor?

    Seems slow to me. My old 16” barrel used to average 2500 with 143 ELDX, and around 2620 with 120 Nosler ballistic tips. Maybe go really light and load 100 ELD VTs? Have worked great for me on animals and steel.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Ok. Got it zeroed on both rifles today. The instructions in the manual are dogshit. Also didn’t help that I started with the AR10, which has a Zeiss S3 4-25 on it. Really hard to see the menu items when unit is on 1x base, and scope is at 4x base mag. Fumbled through it and got zeroed after some...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Finally made it out to Ranch for the weekend but 30+mph winds not the best for trying to zero and shoot coyotes/pigs tonight. May get some pics at least to show performance in wind/dusty conditions. Trying to work through issue with a non spec AR rail. MI handguard on my 6.5cm AR10 not wanting...

    Coyote Hunting Chest Rig

    I like the Crye JPC (v1) to keep the basics up front, with external battery for thermal scanner zip tied on the back. Not huge pockets and keeps things streamlined.

    Night Vision Recommend IR illuminator for LR

    Have used Luna, DBAL D2, TNVC Torch, mil Issue PEQ15, mil issue NGAL, and recent Somogear peq 15. Heck even an old giant light force spotlight with an IR cap on it. Luna has hands down been best with filter removed. Using SIMRAD and Luna with 50% illum one night could count antlers on a buck at...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Mine has worked no issues messing around the yard, but still no formal hunting trip. Out of the box it’s been short press to bring up reticle, another short press to laze. Maybe mess with settings in long press menu? Could be on something weird?

    Rifle Scopes Is there a market for a good MPVO

    I think the easy takeaway from all of this is that the Athlon 2-12 is the standard, or “best in class” option. If you want my money, prove/justify why your new product is better than it. Less weight, better reticle, better glass, better turrets, etc…. Show me why. If not, or no significant price...
