    Night Vision Excelitas Thermal Optics!

    DRS has done exactly that. They have a fusion clip-on with a 10um 640x480 FPA and the objective is pretty small. Unfortunately the NV channel is digital rather than real I2 but size-wise the unit is quite compact.

    Night Vision Excelitas Thermal Optics!

    It looks a fair bit bigger than the Tig, I’d like to see pics of them side by side. You’re right though, otherwise it seems like an upgraded Tig (8° FOV, adjustable focus, FLIR Boson core, etc).

    What's your sleep set up ?

    To a lot of quilt users that’s a feature, not a bug. I get too hot in sleeping bags and it’s nice to be able to stick a leg out to cool down.

    What's your sleep set up ?

    Ultralight Sea to Summit rectangular sleeping pad Feathered Friends sleeping bag that turns into a rectangular quilt (I prefer a quilt unless it’s pretty cold) TarpTent Stratospire Lithium 2-person tent. It’s awesome but pricey. Dyneema composite, lighter than most 1-man tents but big enough...

    @SkyScrapin any chance you can tell us more about their Saker clip-on? That thing looks stinkin’ cool.

    Night Vision Excelitas Thermal Optics!

    It takes 16mm tubes and only Photonis makes those currently, so no L3 tubes sadly. And the fixed focus is a tough sell IMO, though I get it’s aimed at dismounted infantry with carbines. One day someone will make a fusion clip-on like you describe. One day. The trick is that it has to have a...

    Envision MARS-M and M/C

    No, I didn’t conflate them. I acknowledged that you were technically correct. But then I pointed out that that doesn’t matter. The fact is every 1550nm laser on the market significantly outperforms every 900nm laser on the market for reasons of power, beam divergence, superior processing...

    Envision MARS-M and M/C

    Uh yes it is. Like, sure, you could theoretically make a 905nm LRF with the same power as a 1550nm LRF, but no one does that because it would be illegal to sell to civilians, dangerous to troops, and visible to near-peer adversaries. The whole reason 1550nm LRFs exist is that the wavelength...

    Best flow through suppressor

    It’s a little hard to get excited about their direct competitors claiming their cans are no good for hard use lol. That being said, CAT has been very open that the Ti cans are not for hard full auto use or whatever, they are for LE/HD type use where weight and maneuverability are paramount and...

    TRG appreciation thread - Part III

    I think he was asking about the action/chassis lifespan, given the reference to AIs that are on their 20th barrel. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone wearing out any high-end rifle action.

    TRG appreciation thread - Part III

    The action? Probably almost infinite. It’s cold hammer forged and doesn’t see a lot of stress. I think this gun will be 10k+ in the US. Sako/Beretta probably see people buying $13k AX ELRs and want a piece of that action.

    Best flow through suppressor

    Silencershop is the only distributor. Best move is to backorder with them and they will fulfill when batches arrive.

    Envision MARS-M and M/C

    There’s a huge thread on the mars family here already. Edit to add: $7k for a 905nm laser is pants-on-head retarded.

    Cadex Defence, flaunt it if you've got it!

    Cadex CS has been exceptional the couple times I’ve called them. I would recommend calling them and I bet they will send you a manual pdf or in the mail.
