    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    Had a little family hiccup, but I am going to get it back out to the range hopefully next week. It continues to do well on nights I take it out on walks. With any luck I'll get it back in the field sooner than later for real.

    An oldie but goodie - the Vortex Razor 1-4x24

    I called Vortex with a question about this scope ~ a year ago and was told I was mistaken, because they'd never made a FFP 1-4 Razor... eventually someone who was calculating how far away they were from a pension corrected him, but - that's how you know it, and me, and the gun are all getting...

    Suggestions for optic covers for odd sized ACOGs/RMRs, NOX/RMRs etc?

    Greetings all. I know I've seen some examples, but my Google Fu is failing me. I'm looking for a cover to protect set ups like this while being transported in the field etc. I've seen some heavy cloth/fabric stuff that clamshells over the RMR and optic. Our place tends to have an annoying...

    Thermal Scopes for Beginners

    I've been impressed with the 400x300 Burris scopes for the money. I use a NOX 35, but my son uses a first gen Burris BTS50 and it has been a great investment, killed many pigs and coyotes. I'm testing an Athlon Cronus 640 CL right now and it is very impressive at a $3100ish street price. It...

    talk me outta a MOA scope….😳

    OK, I'll talk you out of an MOA. Get an IPHY. I did when I ordered a USO, and I've never looked back. #Imperial #mils=commie

    SOLD Fightlite SCR Raider - 300 BLK

    Perfect for compact CQB, VIP details involving lots of travel, space piracy, and people that don't need a stock to hit things. As can be seen on the shell deflector, very little space piracy has taken place. Gun is 99%+. I got it from a friend on a trade deal and I don't know that he ever...

    Quick Shot Challenge: What’s the dumbest shooting myth you’ve heard?

    your carry handgun, for which 99% of defensive use will be at conversational distances - needs a red dot, green dot, super tall sights to co-witness and of course clear your suppressor - since you also need a threaded barrel, super light trigger, bored out ultralight everything...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    Every once in a while, I have an idea. The Cronus can be used as a stand alone scanner, but the nature of the screens in the clip ons is there are pretty tiny and it isn't super easy to see the display details... Slap it on a rail with a 3X behind it - shazam! I suspect I'll be cutting the...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    Another point to consider when we get to a certain quality level is - while to my eye the NOX had a "better" image, by the numbers its NETD is 50 mk netd whereas the Athlon is 25 mk. It wouldn't surprise me, across a variety of temp ranges and scenarios, if there were times the Cronus was the...

    Craddock Pangris barrels range trip + The Redemption of Battle Arms

    I have quite a few Elanders, Duramags and ASC and MOST of them work on balance, but I started marking mine and it is mag specific. I had more FTF with the 26 rd Duramag and 17 rd elanders than other.With that said, I have a buddy that shoots daily using 5 17 rd elanders and has zero problems...

    Craddock Pangris barrels range trip + The Redemption of Battle Arms

    I had a plan. It was to spend *all day* at the range. That turned into having to work a little, but got there for 10:45. Plenty of time. Getting all this stuff out, targets set up, etc was 45 minutes. Then I got a call from work that we got in a rush order that I had to deal with at 3PM. Cue...

    Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

    Well, much appreciation for the fact you just made me fall in love with the NOX35 all over again. I will say it is apples and oranges - NOX = 2X more expensive, dedicated unit, and while "American" may not be a metric that makes it "better"... but, also lacks a single bell, and does not have...

    Craddock RTR

    On of my buddies had a barrel that is a laser with SST - *KEYHOLES ELD* - and hold MOA with black tip. Barrels are weird.

    Night Vision Burris BTS 50 Thermal Scope

    We've killed a ton with one of these, great units.

    Craddock RTR

    Awesome. I've also had some surprisingly good results from the black tip accuracy wise. Haven't gotten around to doing much work on pigs with it yet. Between rain and work demands, my grand plans of a long day at the range hasn't manifested, but it will.
