    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Mine remains free of issue. Solid performer. Optics One handled it.

    NX vs ATACR

    My main takeaways from owning both at the same time is that zone 3 of the nx8 on 1x has some distortion vs atacr, but zone 1 is true unity while it's 1.05x or so on atacr. Depth of field is better on atacr at 6-8x as outer zone 2 and out on nx8 has some distortion and atacr is flat. Eyebox on...

    NX vs ATACR

    I haven't actually measured fov, but in that video I posted in this thread, the atacr is aimed at a hill significantly closer than the flat area by the river than the nx8 is aimed at. Pretty impossible to draw conclusion from. However, I did take this photo series: Diopter on both is set to...

    NX vs ATACR

    They're close to identical. Tested it for you.

    Night Vision Vis Laser Power

    I'm using a 75mW red viz, and it works very well, although the trace in clean air is rather dull vs green. I use it for coyotes.

    NX vs ATACR

    Why is illumination a factor?

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I'd much rather have my sbr with nv capable and thermal kit.

    New 4 oz. AIR BRACE Cantilever Mount, American Rifle Company Black Friday Sale

    That's a whole lot of small stuff to break. It looks sexy, but I'll wait a bit on it to see how it shakes out.

    Rifle Scopes NF 1-8 ATACR failure

    I had an nx8 with an illumination issue. Turn around was 2 weeks or so as I recall.

    Night Vision Holosun IRIS 1/2/3/4 Official Discussion

    Poors...benefitting product development more than the DoD and NATO.

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    Did anyone ever find a battery that fits? So far I've tried Panasonic and Surefire cr123, and both are hit/miss due to diameter.

    SAI 10 1-10

    Gotta respect that transparency.

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    They granted me access. 5122 is the update rev. I noted much reduced auto nuc frequency and maybe a hair less lag.

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    Looks like new Firmware dropped for the Sidekick. I don't have access to Armasite's downloads, but some of you all might want to know about it.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    You mean, too many people who disagree with you? I do not see the point in a rifle that is tuned to run absolute trash ammo. All of my guns are ported "small" according to you, and they run great even on steel case, in my limited experience with it. My Hodge is a 14.5" middy with a 0.072" port...

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    100% for my serious ammo, I use single lot # batches for each rifle. Everything else is training ammo.

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    Why stop at "will it shoot steel case?" Why not get a multi-caliber survival rifle. In the real world, not everyone will have 7.62 or 5.56. Prep for both, and .410!

    Noveske DDF Barrels

    With or without a can. With or without shitty steel case trash. Using a5h2 green springs. Or a5h4. It literally doesn't care. Clean or fouled. You don't need a Perry Piper gas port. You need a properly sealed and efficient gas system. My kac 11.5 is another example of a smaller port that runs...

    My Hodge barrel runs fine.
