    Night Vision A question for Drone Pro x10 owners

    Re the Drone Pro BDC reticle, I'm guessing it is set up for a 175gr .308 @ 2600fps.. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Night Vision Armasight Customer Service

    Sounds all too familiar. See: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide%C2%AE-armory-supply/sniper-s-hide-night-vision-devices/6291970-armasight-flir-customer-service My last post: "UPDATE: After nearly a year and countless emails to customer support, Armasight finally...

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Catalyst, I bought Armasight products based on their "old" reputation for quality and service. My recent experience of their "new" standards leaves me looking elsewhere for future purchases. UPDATE: After nearly a year and countless emails to customer support, Armasight finally came good...

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    wig, The current and enduring issue is that the Drone Pro remote does not control the Drone Pro. Flir asked for the serial numbers of both units which I supplied by return email almost a month ago. Since then - nothing. Apparently the last two digits of the serial numbers refer to the receiver...

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Wig, There was no Armasight rep over here when I ordered my gear (afaik). In fact, their export manager asked if I would be interested in becoming a dealer for them. Since then a few Oz companies have taken on their products. I'll see how I fare with them. btw my approaches to Armasight USA...

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Good point Ben. In my case it seems Armasight products are a liability they are not prepared to service. Either that or they are not concerned with their international (Aussie) customers.

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Thanks for your trouble wigwamitus. BTW it seems my remotes are matched to their parent optics at the factory - ie the pairing is not "learnable".

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Update: Finally, received an apology from Flir two weeks ago but no still no offer to sort the original problem. Does anyone have an email contact for higher up the Flir food chain? Clearly "Customer Service" is just a name plate on an empty room.

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Thanks for the tip wigwamitus. I'll check that out. The Prometheus remote worked from the get go - expected the Drone Pro to do the same. Looks to me like the Flir customer service comes from the customers lol.

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Thanks for your post EP. ".......I start with the dealer/distributor......" I agree but that's not an option here unfortunately since I imported direct from Armasight. "...awfully patient." I cut them a little slack initially because I figured they were in an ownership transition to FLIR...

    Night Vision Armasight/Flir Customer Service

    Last year I spent approx $8,000(AUD) on Armasight NV and Thermal optics. (Drone Pro and Prometheus) The thermal unit was faulty and had to be returned for replacement - that's an extra $260 thank you very much Armasight quality control. I then discovered that the remote control on the NV did...

    Range Report 308 Win, 208 AMax, RL17

    Thanks MM. No surprises there really, considering a 20" with the 208 can hold its own in the wind against a 28" running 155s or 185s. (on my numbers, anyway) Certainly is a softer bullet. I've never used an Amax with a compressed load before and was quite surprised to find all my 208/RE17...

    Range Report 308 Win, 208 AMax, RL17

    Montana, First of all, thanks for posting all your findings on the 208+308+Re17. I've learnt a lot. Just wondering though, is the 208 now your goto for all hunting and target ranges with the 308 or just for the longs?

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    I agree with the OP on this point and it is the reason I became more involved with our club's new shooters. However, the point of my post was to show that rules don't have to be changed "from the top down" to achieve a higher retention rate. It is a no-brainer that new shooters will want to...

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    We don't shoot from the mag. It is just an agreement to compete with mag length rounds. (My rifle has one of those long throats you mentioned. Some 155s were out of the case mouth before they reached the lands. With so many 30 cal options it wasn't too hard to make one work.)

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    Anyone who wants to shoot F-T/R at our club has to shoot F-Open class. (F-T/R is just getting off the ground here in Oz and not all clubs have accepted it yet) We had a bunch of new shooters join the club recently who wanted to shoot/compete with their "field" rig 308s and 223s. While...

    Sako TRG torque specs??

    I received this email advice from SAKO's R&D Dept., Finland, some years ago. quote: Normally, when rifle is assembled at the factory no certain torque is used. Comprehensive testing has showed that slight differences in fixing torque has practically no effect on accuracy on SAKO TRG, normal...

    260 Imp 30 velocity gains?

    Svendogg, the following loads are what I used with the short throat. Re17: With 140VLDs jammed 20T, OAL=2.88", 43.6gr produced 2939fps when fireforming cases and 2950fps with formed cases. H4350: With 140VLDs jammed 20T, OAL=2.88", 44.6gr produced 2939fps with formed cases. Load testing...

    260 Imp 30 velocity gains?

    I'm running a 260Imp30 in a 28" Heavy Palma PacNor. No pressure signs pushing 140s to over 3000fps (Re17 and H4350) but I run them at 2930fps to keep inside the accuracy node. Fireforming is not an issue. Load a 260 case and shoot it. Accuracy is excellent both forming and formed. I'm using...
