    Night Vision Newb looking for clip-on advice and info

    Actually, it’s very obvious to us how much research you did (or didn’t) do. But that’s not the real issue here, and it’s not why you just got dragged for 4 pages in the other thread. Most of them don’t care if you did your own research or not. Your primary problem here (and it is definitely...

    Night Vision Newb looking for clip-on advice and info

    Found a thread with lots of great info for you, OP. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/wtf-is-with-the-gatekeeping.7249306/

    Night Vision Newb looking for clip-on advice and info

    It is marketed as stand alone only, so why do you say it’s hard to know if it will work? If it’s not designed for clip-on use, it won’t work (at least not remotely well) as a clip-on. Seems pretty straightforward. No- it’s not arbitrary. Your inability to find the information means you have an...

    Sig Cross vs Tikka, etc

    I owned an Sig Cross for a couple days. Excellent design, but typical Sig shit quality. If Harbor Freight ever sells guns they will sell the Sig Cross. Stock would collapse on recoil. Can’t remember the other issues, but I know that one was a common experience at least at the time.

    SOLD ZCO 5-27 MPCT3X & Spuhr SP-6002

    Locking 15 Mil turrets. Perfect glass. I’m not a box collector, so it will ship in the wrong box (probably Nightforce just to upset the universe). Won’t split scope and mount. SP-6002 is 1.5” height with 0 MOA cant (good for clip-on compatibility). 3600 for both No trades unless it’s...

    Night Vision Basic Thermal Clip ON Q's.

    1. No. Your black reticle will stand out against the thermal screen unless it’s super super fine. 2. Get away with it, yes. I’ve used a 4-20 and hunted successfully with a Voodoo-S, but for most clip-ons that will severely limit your field of view so LPVOs are highly recommended. Yes, 3.6 would...

    Night Vision TNVC – Torch PRO Mk.II IR Illuminator

    I imagine it’s not intentional, but you’re running afoul of the rules which require waiting 48 hours before bumping your post. I recommend waiting 48 hours (even before responding to this post).

    Least "gassy" 556, 11.5 inch(or so), piston, AR and Suppressor Combo?

    The newly released HK MR556 fits your requirements. Suppressed and normal gas setting, and within that, you can swap gas vents to reduce the gas to your exact preference. Available in 16” and 11” configuration. Guaranteed 10 shot 30mm (almost exactly MOA) accuracy with free barrel replacements...

    Elbit thin film vs L3 unfilmed for COTI use

    It’s a pretty minimal risk with either. Every tube is unique. I’ve had tubes that got temporary burn in (maybe wrong term) from COTI use on “full thermal” mode and I’ve had tubes that didn’t. If you use the COTI in patrol mode (most popular anyway) rather than full thermal, you shouldn’t have...

    SOLD SAC Tikka T3X 6.5CM

    Smith, Thread crapping isn’t allowed, so knock it off. Free bump, OP. Truing the face of a Tikka isn’t necessary, but it is a somewhat common practice when swapping to a custom barrel. This is because Tikkas have a small chamfer at the front of the receiver which reduces the diameter of the...

    Night Vision Skeet IR-L as a clip on

    Yes, that definitely can happen. But after owning several, I can tell you that purchasing one with that expectation would not be a bright move.

    Night Vision Skeet IR-L as a clip on

    I’ve owned several UTMs (not X). They work a little better than Skeet-L but most aren’t collimated for clip on work. This is why they’re so cheap (2500ish right now). The skeet-L is similarly poor because of a lack of collimation. Now, there appears to be an exception… I’ve owned at least a...

    Night Vision BAE UTC-X vs EOTech Clip IR ELR

    No, absolutely not. Both will comfortably handle 16 or even 20X (depending on several factors I mentioned previously). You’re imagining far more difference than there is. In direct, side by side, head to head comparisons, it’s hard to tell which one supports more magnification, and not everyone...

    Night Vision BAE UTC-X vs EOTech Clip IR ELR

    Both units would do what you’re describing, and all 3 scopes would be appropriate. There’s a lot of personal preference issues between those. For me, the UTC-X wins (dramatically) for its size/weight, and much superior core (how the thermal image is interpreted for your eyes/ brain to perceive...

    Night Vision BAE UTC-X vs EOTech Clip IR ELR

    There are other (often more important) things to consider when comparing those two, but I’ll assume you have considered them. The EoTech will support slightly more day scope magnification. Nobody can meaningfully answer how much each can handle. It’s VERY subjective. I’ve used a Voodoo-S...

    Tikka action build

    You crack me up. You read without comprehension and then laughed at the version of my comment that you created in your haste/error. 1. Yes, I specifically said that was in comparison to Remington actions 🤦‍♂️ 2. Yes, Some customs are superior in some (or several) respects. Some are not...

    Tikka action build

    R700 actions have several shortcomings, which is why there’s a healthy market for custom actions. If you look up the original shortcomings that the customs were trying to solve, you’ll find that Tikka actions solve them all. Wider stiffer rear tang to prevent flex - check Stiffer action -...
