    About to purchase weapon mounted NV. Opinions please

    For carbines a D2 is great. For a precision rig shooting out to 600m+ it is shit compared to a Luna. And a Somogear PEQ15 is just as good as a D2 for 90% of use case at 1/6 the cost. And it doesn’t give a giant red glow that spooks animals if hunting them within 200m. Ok, I’m done with this...

    About to purchase weapon mounted NV. Opinions please

    Ok. I’m a cheap bastard, so full disclosure there. 1. I would research recoil rating of KN203. Pretty sure it can handle 338 and for the price I’d be willing to try it out if not specifically stated. 2. Buy a Luna. 3. Mount both to rifle and see if this is something you even want to get into...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Looks like the ballistics profile and solver are internal to unit once you push a profile to it. Was playing around with it in the rain/humidity this morning (worked great) and it was still generating solutions when ranging despite not having my phone with me.

    Don’t forget about a used Kn203. Can be found used for $2-2500. Way better image to me than PVS30 and you can actually reach the focus knob. Paired with a Luna will be good to 1k and farther depending on ambient conditions. Just not certain of recoil rating on it.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Kudos to @Overwatch260 on the 1x menu setting. I was also able to figure out synching the ballistic app to the unit. Took a while of tweaking bc to get to match my Kestrel but good enough out to 300m now which is likely as far as I’ll ever shoot pigs/coyotes at night. REALLY impressed with this...

    Disregard. Figured it out. Got to the other settings.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    How did you get into the magnification settings? I’ve been tinkering with it today but can’t seem to get past the basic five items on the menu. Looks like the ballistic app does not synch with it from what I’ve tried so far, but not a big deal.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    In my case, dial or hold 0.1 mil elevation (100 ELD VT at 3150fps). There is an Athlon ballistic app but I don’t know if it links to the unit. I need to true it up with my established data on my kestrel. Have a lot of tinkering to do with it this and next weekend. Once zeroed to “collimate” your...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Image from app. Super easy to set up. 2x base on this scope is great, pretty narrow FOV at 6x but useable. 10x is absolute max. Other rifle is a 4-25 and think the 4x will still show the range reading. Gonna put away for now and get back to work but should have much better feedback after hunting...

    With 0.5” riser lines up perfectly on the 1.96 mount.

    Will find out next weekend. Had to move from 12 o’clock to fit the thermal. I never trust LAM zero anyways and always to a quick check before I go out each night.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    That is a 1.96 mount on the SBR. My other rifle is 1.5 and will likely line up perfectly.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Expert Voice /Athlon ships freaking fast. Pleasant surprise delivery this morning. Have a 0.5” picatinny riser coming today to line up better on the SBR. Should be fine on my 6.5cm once I get out to Ranch next weekend. Batteries on charger for now but moved some stuff around to test fit in the...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Got notification mine shipped earlier today. Will likely mess around with it on the 22 in the backyard this weekend to get the buttons and processes down. Weekend after should be able to get out to Ranch and whack some pigs and coyotes with it.

    Precision Rifle Gear Looking for a do it all rangefinder/ballistics

    My older Sig Kilo 3000bdx paired with a Kestrel 5700 Elite work perfectly shooting animals out to 400m and steel out to 1000m. Just have to read wind accurately, elevation isn’t the issue after truing it up to my load.

    Picatinny mount. Will likely need an upgrade but don’t think ADM making one for it yet.

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus ATS PRO 35CL Clip On.

    Yes. Ordered this morning. Once arrives I’ll try to get a quick hunt in to test it out and let others know.

    Anyone use one of these yet? Pretty good deal on Expert Voice right now I couldn’t pass up.

    Rifle Scopes Best optic aroumd 2k with mil discount

    I was in a similar boat as you a couple months ago, just wanted less magnification. Bought the S3 4-25 on EV and have been very happy with it. Only issue I’ve run into has been lens flare when shooting into setting/rising sun, but ordered their sunshade and lens caps (which are excellent) and...

    6.5 100 grain ELD-VT fragmentation question

    Still no long shot opportunities, but worked great at about 2m last weekend…
