    Suppressors QuietBore 22LR Titanium Suppressor Build Review -***Approved Form 1 Required***

    You want to make sure you don’t heat up the Ti. Push firm and get metal removal. If you have lube and a sturdy machine keep going. If you have a drill press or hand drill just peck it repeatedly. If you have the bit touching and not cutting you are making things hard on yourself. It’s easy...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX-1000

    I thought it seemed like a good scope for the money. It didn’t match my goals (shooting down to 25 yards on a rimfire) so I went a different way. It seemed reasonable for the money, if not a good value too. It didn’t meet the hype Nikon has posted online. That was disappointing, though it...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon FX-1000

    Where were these extra quality steps for all the dud scopes that came through? You can’t brag about QC on a scope that literally has more complaints than praises. It just sounds like marketing BS with no backing. It’s a price point scope and was almost one I bought to go on my trainer. A...

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    Shit I’m too slow. If you backorder do you still qualify for the rebate? Seems you need a serial number which would make a back order not seem valid for the rebate.

    Night Vision DT vs ST

    Anything set to infinity (or close to it) can’t have stereoscopic depth benefits. Again, stereoscopic depth perception is a very short range phenomenon. Most agreed 10-15m was the range that is ends. One study I found suggests potentially out to 40m. But it won’t do anything at 100+ yards...

    I plan to use the octane 9 on a 22lr quite a bit. It may not see another caliber. It will get cleaned though.

    Night Vision DT vs ST

    I’m curious on this as my dual use is a borrowed set for a weekend a year, far from extensive. How are you setting the tubes up? Close to the eyes or far? How is the focus setup? Close or far? Depth perception is a close range feature and most of the advice I have seen is to set the I2 close...

    Night Vision Thermal advice/input needed

    Opticsplanet has a 10% off code which gets you under $2250 for that apex. I’d use that as a bargaining chip for some of the local stores. Worst case, you get one from OP.

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    I’m willing to take my chances. I may be wrong but this will get me going on my pistols and rifles (slow to get into the near game).

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    Yeah I’m going to have to ask to be billed extra for the can and less for the mount and see how that goes. If not then just more for the can.

    Suppressors SilencerCo BOGO

    If you get a Saker at $775 and get an extra mount with the purchase ($850 total) do you qualify for the $700 rebate or the $800 rebate? It’s only $775 worth of suppressor but it’s all spent at once through the SilencerShop as one item

    Night Vision Silly Thermal Spotter (Breach) Capability Question

    There isn’t much in the sub $2500 range. If you don’t care about head mounting very much, then maybe the Pts233 is a better choice. Being weapon mountable is a bonus and it’s cheaper. Certainly not the form factor of the breach but I also think you’ll see better resale from the crowd wanting...

    Night Vision Pulsar Trail XP50 Thermal

    Wig is spot on. If the base zoom on a 640 core is too low, spending the extra on it goes fairly wasted. Find the zoom/FOV you want and then compare options based on it. Keeping the same focal length but increasing the core size only lowers base Zoom/widens base FOV, not increasing detail at...

    Night Vision IR laser with illuminator Worth It Or Not?

    If you want illumination and a Laser for maximum distance the MAWL C1 is the king of civilian legal options. If that price is too much, the Dbal D2 has the best illuminator/laser combo (short of the MAWL) I’ve seen. It’s not cheap either, but half the cost. Or, you can go something separate...

    Rifle Scopes Midas BTR 4.5-27x50 APLR1

    It probably also is due to the next power down being a 2.5-15x. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reticle was the same lens between the two. If it were correct at any higher of a power it would never work on the lower powered option. It could also be due to the FOV but I’d guess it’s more tied...

    Rifle Scopes Sightron finally entering the game

    The problem to me is that the pricing is at a point where the market is very competitive. Doing the bulk of the important things right isn’t just a step in the right direction, it’s absolutley mandatory. Even the small details become mandatory. If this were $750-$1000, I get it that budget...

    Rifle Scopes GAP Deal on Bushnell LRHS Scopes

    Does anyone know the minimum focus distance on the side focus? I’d like to get a pair, one for the main rifle and one for the rimfire trainer.

    Night Vision DT vs ST

    That sounds like an absolute great setup for the money. Not elite tier stuff but it gets you so much capability. The only thing I may change, if you aren’t head mounting the breach, is to look at one of the Pulsar handhelds. Seems they have a few 384 core options in the $1500-$1700 range...
