    Looks like the "Swamp" is at it again!

    Devil is in the details, but I'm all for a national sales tax to replace federal income tax. That way everybody pays into the system regardless of your "adjusted income" level But until then, make the current tax law permanent

    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Thermal

    Nox18 helmet mounted will get out several hundred yards very easily. Especially if you're only interested in detecting

    Night Vision New Nvision scope posted accidentally?

    They're pushing me more and more towards Iray. Especially at the $10k range. Or maybe I'm not their intended audience - government or LE

    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Dual Thermals

    I've been pondering the same question for hunting, as of now I'm going with dual band (tanto) with a Nox18. Already have the Nox helmet mounted but want the ability to walk around better than just the thermal alone. The rifle will have its own thermal scope

    Night Vision N Vision Halo XRF vs IRay RH50R

    Going through the same dilemma but also wanting night vision (helmet mounted to go with the Nox18). Iray came out with a RL42R - 384 sensor with a base mag of 4x and msrp is $2k less than the RH50R. Otherwise specs look the same. The few videos out there look good though

    My first drone

    Depending on the airport, it's 5 - 7 mile radius. Even my local airport with no control tower has 5 miles

    My first drone

    The DJI no-fly-zones expand well outside of the FAA zones. Not sure of the process to unlock the drone/controller, but supposedly it does work. Welcome to the world of DJI and software updates

    Rifle Scopes Keep rings on scope - remove and remount

    I forget the manufacturer of the rail, but the rings are Seekins, 4 screw. To me it's the equivalent of a slow version of a QD mount or rings. Use the same slots and screw torque that I'm using now and verify once or twice for my sanity

    Rifle Scopes Keep rings on scope - remove and remount

    Have a day scope in a set of non QD rings. Wanting to use the rifle with a thermal (on a QD mount) but still have the option for the day scope without re-zeroing. Can you simply remove the rings/scope from the rail then remount in the same slots and call it good?

    CZ 455 stock/chassis suggestions

    I have a MPA BA chassis for the 455. Only chassis I have so no experience with other brands, but no complaints either. MPA is proud of them, but it looks like a 457 also fits https://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa-ba-cz-455-457-chassis/

    FFP for rimfire

    It would be a hard sale for me to go back to using a SFP scope. Was using a SFP Nightforce and kept missing everything beyond 100 yards using the reticle for holdovers while not on the calibrated zoom level (10x). Once I figured that out and changed to 10x, magically started hitting the targets...
