    Night Vision HISS XLR at SOK!

    In case people don't fully realize what this thing is capable of: you can see unheated steel at night under just about any conditions It's so much more sensitive than LWIR systems that you can see residual heat from impacts on paper and see bullets in flight The detection range...

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

    The 4-16x ATACR is something special - a damned near perfect 5.56mm SPR scope. The 2.5-20x is no slouch either, so honestly you can't go wrong with either, BUT if you like to dial a bit the ATACR turrets are nicer. If you really need the lower backend for a thermal clip-on, then the NX8 is a...

    Bartlein Barrels Update

    Just a sample of one, but my first MODBB barrel was this 16” 6mm Creedmoor barrel Craddock put together for me in 2022, and it’s finally reached the end at almost 3000 rounds. Granted, I didn’t push it as hard as my bolt guns, but still it lasted longer than I expected.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I recently picked-up another E-COTI since I kind of missed it, but now that I’ve had the upgraded TAD for a while I’m honestly torn over which is better now? I initially missed the E-COTI’s more expansive image control, but now the Avengers credits-like wall to wall menu pages feels cumbersome...

    338 Lapua Magnum

    Nope, I have no advice to offer you on seating.

    338 Lapua Magnum

    Those numbers look pretty normal. I wouldn’t expect to get to 2850 fps easily with 300s, even out of a 30” barrel. You can push those loads maybe a grain higher from my experience, but you’re close to the pressure zone. For example, years ago one of my barrels absolutely loved 92.7gr of N570...

    6 ARC Longevity

    Same, really really don't like KB, but I'm not too proud or stubborn to admit when a complete shit human is responsible for a really good product.

    6 ARC Longevity

    6ARC Mini-Fix (yeah I know, fight me) is probably one of my favorite rifles these days for humping up and down hills and still being able to shoot .308WIN distances.

    6 ARC Longevity

    I think it's here to stay. It really maximizes the long range capability of an AR-15 or mini-action over 5.56mm, there's factory ammo options (now Black Hills?), plenty of barrel maker and rifle offerings, and the magazine kinks seem to have been worked out from what I can tell. I don't see it...

    Calypso AB Mini Ultrasonic Wind Meter

    And for those who don't know, because it's counter-intuitive, you need to use the other app called Configurator to first setup the device or upgrade the firmware.

    XM7 worries from the field.

    I tend to agree. I think the GWOT taught us that there are times when a 5.56mm M4 makes more sense, and other times when a 7.62mm AR10 makes more sense. And clearly over the last 20 years the mindset towards this issue has been "lets just make a modular rifle that can Joe can swap out...

    NX vs ATACR

    All good - must be misremembering things about the NX8 as it’s been a few years since I had one.

    NX vs ATACR

    Yeah, I was looking at the specs too, but in your video one scope has significantly wider FOV

    NX vs ATACR

    Yeah ok.

    NX vs ATACR

    I just thought the illumination on the NX8 was a little weak compared to the ATACR.
  19. Dogtown

    NX vs ATACR

    I like both for different reasons. The NX8 is a really small lightweight LPVO while the ATACR is bigger and more robust. I really like the NX8 on little setups where I'm looking to keep the weight down and not too fussed about illumination, while the ATACR goes on a rifle I'm running harder and...

    Night Vision Aether Optics Specter Panos

    Don’t think there will be standalone housings any time soon - complete units through TNVC for now is my guess. A housing swap for me and some other folks was the perk of being an early adopter I guess.
