    Envision MARS-L Announced - Wilcox RAPTAR Killer?

    Thank you for answering my question! The ballistics solver, oddly enough, does nothing for me. That's why I never picked up a higher end Raptar. I make little re-writeable waterproof day/night dope cards that glow in the dark and click inside a defender ocular cap so I can have drop and wind...

    Envision MARS-L Announced - Wilcox RAPTAR Killer?

    How would you say the Radius compares to the MARS when it comes to purely ranging targets inside of 1200 yd? If one ignores the price difference, weight/form factor, and other extraneous features, how do they stack up? I've used the shit out of my Radius LRFs over the last sixish years and...

    Rifle Scopes Nx8 for hunting rifle ?

    Thanks for taking the time to explain, I will probably go ahead and roll with the SWFA for now until (unlikely) I find the 9x top end somehow holding me back. Thanks again for your input.

    Rifle Scopes Nx8 for hunting rifle ?

    Interesting comment as I'm currently in a similar quandary as the OP with a new 300 Win Mag I'm picking up tomorrow. I'm shopping for other optics but I have a spare brand new SWFA 3-9 HD sitting in its box that I had considered using. Can you please share why you pulled off NFs in favor of...

    The weapon mounted LRF conundrum.

    I've been periodically looking at the Trybe since last year, but already have a Radius so didn't feel like it was worth the gamble. I saw the price drop so I bought one in April. I returned it after using it the first time because the visible red zeroing laser was 3+ mils off diagonally...

    Groups open up with thermal clipon

    All of what this guy said, particularly the part about having a less refined and consistent of an aiming point (in general) with thermal. That part is present no matter what thermal setup you have. Creating a target using aluminum foil that helps you get a more refined POA at the desired...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR3i Feedback

    That sucks that you are having shit luck w/ the XTR3s. I looked pretty hard at those (although, admittedly, not through one) when considering a new optic for a rifle I was putting together last year but decided against them due to the skinny reticle. I wound up buying another PST gen 2 3-15...

    Rifle Scopes What's the REAL story on SWFA?

    A 10x42 w/ a well thought-out tree reticle would be exactly what I am looking for w/ for a couple applications, assuming the price is not being wildly increased.

    Night Vision Passive aiming with lpvo?

    I went down this road years ago after reading about the downsides thinking to myself "it can't be that bad." It is that bad. Even with a high mount, it is still not good. Eye relief, eye box, parallax, nothing working in your favor there. Even a versatile compromise optic like an LPVO (not...

    Night Vision Ir laser options

    If having a short range IR illuminator that always comes on with activation of the IR laser is not a deal breaker, try a Streamlight TLR VIR II. I started with one purchased for my NV pistol and now have eight of them, two of which are on carbines. They are superb for short guns like my 10.5"...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I've used mine with 1.063-1.95" heights and 0-30 MOA mounts including a 1.125" with 20 MOA, zero to minimal difference in adjustment necessary on the C35. Seems pretty tolerant so far.

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    This is something that is on my to do list this weekend to test. I've got a super consistent bolt gun to zero the C35 on and wanted to see what/if any shift is induced due to flex by putting a heavy load on the bipod. I will probably do that at 200 yd.

    Night Vision Nightvision for long range

    Your two posts in this thread may very well be some of the most interesting and informative things I've ever read here pertaining to night vision, thank you for taking the time to type all of that. My experience with in-line I^2 clip-ons is limited to refurb PVS-30s and PVS-27s. I offloaded my...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    This is the solution I landed on as well. Missing out on 30 seconds of viewing while changing batteries is more appealing to me than having an unsecured power junction, cable, and external battery pack. YMMV.

    Holosun HS503G ACSS

    Yours must be a dud, I've got several of them and all have worked well. That said, I've had a couple other Holosuns that shit the bed presumably with QC issues. Nothing else out there that I'm aware of does what the HS503G does for its size and weight, I love them. I wish the coatings were...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    I've shot with mine on six hosts including a piston gun and a 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun with some pretty rowdy vibration, fortunately no such experience.

    Rimfire with SIMRAD scope choice

    I used SIMRADs, specifically KN203FABs, for quite a while before switching to the PVS-27 a few years ago. One of them was on my AR22, so I got to do basically exactly what you are talking about. My favorite optic to have it mounted to was the gen 2 PST 3-15 FFP. I would ABSOLUTELY go FFP for...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    The manual says ~1 MOA increments, but my experience zeroing it on several platforms says slightly more than that. That said, I created a more refined foil target that allows me to get a slightly more precise zero that tested great this past weekend. I should be able to do more experimentation...
