    2-10 scopes in FFP

    The lightweight 2.5-10x32ish w/ good glass and reticle choices out there are fairly slim. As mentioned above, the gen 1 Vortex PST 2.5-10x32 is a solid choice unless you want a Christmas tree reticle. I eliminated the gen 2 as an option the second I saw the weight specs when it came out a few...

    Found a SilencerCo SWR radius

    Regarding zero offset, agree to disagree. Same principles apply to using IR laser. OP is free to try it both ways and feel out the results. Regarding the scope dialing and changing where your laser is aiming with respect to the reticle, either you misread what I typed or you are confused. If...

    Found a SilencerCo SWR radius

    That is what I do, night or late dusk with preference to the latter. I exclusively use the Radius with a clip-on night vision device, so confirming zero before use works out well timing-wise. In case you are using NV, you can actually see the ranging beam and will see what I'm referring to as...

    Found a SilencerCo SWR radius

    1. Mount it horizontally (12 o'clock) if at all possible due to the shape of the beam, this will minimize false readings. The unit gives you three different ranges, so it's not a deal breaker if you can't do this. I have mine at the 9 o'clock and wish I didn't have to. 2. Adjust the mount...

    Civilian IR laser questions.

    From the Steiner models, in order to comfortably aim AND illuminate at 200 yd, the most cost effective device would be the Dbal-D2. If you are happy enough w/ the illumination effects of an aiming laser on HIGH, then perhaps consider a PERST-4 type laser as long as you are good with a more...

    Civilian IR laser questions.

    Definitely NOT the case w/ civilian IR lasers available in the US. Most of the time, a super-powerful IR pointer isn't a huge benefit, but the powerful and adjustable IR illuminator packaged with it can be extremely useful. What max distance are you planning to shoot with this setup?

    Upgrade from PA SLX 3-18x50 FFP

    I'm curious about your thoughts regarding chromatic aberration between the two scopes. I have one of the SLX 3-18s and, while the CA present isn't NEARLY as bad as some of the other scopes I've tried in the price range, it is still noticeable (the Bushnell Forge 2.5-18 was terrible in that...

    Night Vision WTS: US Night Vision PVS-14 Elbit tube (ITT/Harris) like new with data sheet

    I currently have an extra PVS-14 that isn't being used so it needs to find a new home. It is in perfect condition and functions flawlessly. I bought it to use as a backup so it has slept in the safe. It was manufactured in 2020, so it is extremely recent. It has an excellent green phosphor...

    Night Vision NV or thermal clip-on

    Yep, that dictates the proper choice. I bought a PAS-13G thermal clip-on when I was still in the south shooting hogs, which it was great for. A couple years later I moved back up here and out of hog land and discovered just how lacking it is for non-hunting situations. Now my only clip-ons...

    Night Vision Simrad KN203 FAB manual and light shield

    Yep, I pulled them off unless it was going on an optic with a small objective lens diameter. Depending on the day optic, you could also just buy a cheap sunshade and cut to desired length if needed. There were at least two different sizes of stray light shields made for them back in the day...

    Night Vision LWTS, CRATOS

    Holy crap. I sincerely hope that is not actually the case. If that is how it went down, just wow.

    Rifle Scopes Something New From Vortex

    Meh, no thanks. I'm guessing it will probably sell, though.

    Night Vision My first NV optic, a PVS-27

    Agreed, an accurate, suppressed, 22 LR and clip-on NV play together like peanut butter and jelly. With a good illuminator, you can watch the bullets arcing into their final destination.

    Best Night/Low Light LRF

    I use a SWR Radius rifle-mounted rangefinder at night, not sure if that is what you are looking for but it works like a charm. I would NOT recommend getting a Bushnell CONX for lowlight/night since the illuminated rectangle in the middle of the screen is sufficiently bright to prevent you from...

    Night Vision Cheap rail mount low pro IR laser?

    I have had really good luck with the Crimson Trace Rail Master IR and Lasermax Uni IR for cheap, low-profile IR lasers. That said, I never beat on them or used them on anything harsher than a 6.5 Creedmoor gas gun.

    Ranging at night, but on a “budget”

    It might sound like a waste of time, but we had a lot of fun at dusk with the Radius zeroed on top of my Bushnell Legend T 15-45 seeing how far we could range while drinking beer :cool: We were able to get well over 3k yards CONSISTENTLY. Whoever guesses closest to the actual value wins. Water...
