Just got back in, he is strung up and ready to make sausage and ham and bacon.
There were six of them all together and all about the same size, real big ones. I would say he goes 375 pounds, his head is just massive, as are his shoulders.....
Acorns are on the ground thick everywhere....

It is totally AWESOME being able to sit still on my log and snipe a perfect neck shot @ 190 yards in pitch dark without them knowing I am even there.
His buddies will be back, the entire forest floor is loaded with acorns thick on the ground!

Finally got my T50. I like it better as a stand alone than in front of my ACOG 4x32.

Re: FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up
Time to get that baby dialed in and take down some nighttime vermin!
The internal reticules work just fine on 1X, but I believe that there is a shift in POI if you use either the 2x or 4X mode with them. I only use the magnifications for close up scanning purposes and not actual shooting.
I really like my ACOG with the FLIR thermal unit, mine is the LED version TA02, and usually I leave the lighted reticule turned off...

Damn, you are one tiny step ahead of me!
Where did you order your LS-64 from, only a couple of places actually have them in stock.
Have you tried out your T-50 laser yet? Is it IR or Red Vis?
The laser is pretty much useless as it does not match the POI and only functions as a general pointer to indicate about where you are aiming, plus you can't see it through the thermal anyways but your friends nearby will at least have an idea of where you are aiming to.

Re: FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up
I am getting it from MOD Armory. I was told sometime around Christmas to expect it.
My T50 has the red visible laser. It seemed to illuminate fairly close to where I was aiming, but I wasnt on a bench rest. Im thinking a 2x or 3x ACOG behind it might be perfect. Pretty impressive unit!

Re: FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up
I am betting the laser will be one or two feet off of POA-POI when you find out....I noticed your rifle does not have a monolithic rail, but even with one it would still be off.

Re: FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up
Here is a source for Thermal Targets for practicing with your FLIR T-50 at night or during the day:
http://www.inrangesupplies.com/index.php/thermal-targets.html
The targets reflect cold from the upper atmosphere and appear Hot to the thermal camera scopes....
They will not work inside a building as they need to be outside in the open to be able to reflect the cold from the outer atmosphere.

Re: FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up
The FLIR Thermal Weapon cameras receive wavelengths in the upper IR -> Spectral: 7.5-13.5 µm or 7,500-13,500nm.
µm = microns
nm = nanometers
Human visible eye sight is 440nm to 720nm, I2 Night Vision Image Intensifiers receives from 650nm to 950nm lower IR region.
Different definitions are used for distinguishing different infrared spectral regions:
The near-infrared spectral region (also called IR-A) ranges from 700 to 1400 nm. Lasers and IR Illuminators emitting in this wavelength region are particularly hazardous for the eye, as near-infrared light is transmitted and focused to the sensitive retina in the same way as visible light, while not triggering the protective blink reflex. Adequate eye protection is then very important to prevent permanent eye damage including cataract formation in the lens, endothelial cell death on the cornea, and rod and cone apotosis in the retina.
The short-wavelength infrared (SWIR, IR-B) extends from 1.4 to 3 µm. This region is relatively eye-safe, since such light is absorbed in the eye anatomical structures before it can reach the retina.
The mid-infrared (mid-wavelength infrared, MWIR, IR-C) ranges from 3 to 8 µm. The atmosphere exhibits strong absorption in parts of that region; there are many absorption lines e.g. of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O).
The long-wavelength infrared (LWIR, IR-C) ranges from 8 to 15 µm, followed by the far infrared (FIR), which ranges to 1 mm and is sometimes understood to start at 8 um already. This spectral region is used for thermal imaging.

If you can find one i had great opportunity hunting hirsch in Germany fog each night for weeks i thought NEED a thermal site!

You should consider ALL artificial IR light from any source to be detrimental to yours and others eyesight whether or not they state that they are "Eye Safe" or not. The formulas for determining the safety factors for different cellular tissues are too complex to worry about.
Treat all IR Illuminators and Lasers like they are loaded guns, do NOT point them at any human being, then you never have to worry about it....you cannot be certain about the certified IR output from a device to begin with, don't rely on some unknown, just refrain from pointing them at anything you do not want to kill and you'll be fine.

Re: FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up
Personally, I don't like anyone shining any IR light in my eyes at any time, laser or LED Illuminator.
Eye damage is also cumulative over time as more cells get wacked from more exposure, welders and glassblowers wear eye protection not only for the UV damage (UV has more power per photon) but also for the IR radiation.
Imagine getting an eye exam when the Ophthalmologist puts Atropine or Pilocarpine drops in your eye to dilate your pupils wide open, now imagine you are standing 10 feet in front of a automobile headlamp on high beam starring directly into the white light beam. It will hurt like hell because the drugs have nullified your autonomic nervous system response to constrict your pupils to avoid damage and pain from the bright light.
Now imagine what is going on inside your eye at night with your eyes fully dilated and starring into an IR beam.... even though it does not hurt this time, your eyes are getting zapped & screwed just the same.

That is the beauty of a Clip-On over a dedicated sight.

Did you also buy another t-50,those are pretty expensive thermal scopes? That gun looks really nice!!

No, the FLIR T-50 is a Clip-On, it takes 10 seconds to take it off one rifle and install it on another.....
That is the beauty of a Clip-On over a dedicated sight.
A 7.62mm Barnes 130 grain TSX @ 3,000 fps is going to be allot more smack down than a 5.56mm 70 grain TSX @ 2,800 fps......

What is a safe queen? I bought a 5.56 bushmaster yesterday for my youngest son,he is pretty happy .Looks like Obama wants to get rid of all AKs and ARs if he can because of the last shooting.Went to the gun store yesterday and you would think that the Russians were coming,they sold out of all 5.56 and 7.62 guns,it was a MADD house there.

A <span style="font-weight: bold">Safe Queen</span> is a prized firearm that is relegated to taking up space in the Locked Safe and does not see any real use outside of the Safe....

Nice rig skypup. Waiting on my LS64. Don't think Santa will bring it, but hopefully soon after.

It is a FLIR LS-64, a handheld thermal scanning device:

I want one.

Re: FLIR T-50 Initial Set-Up
Holy Molly, it was raining cats and dogs tonight with severe thunderstorms after dark. I had just purchased my new SIG 716 7.62mm three days ago and was able to sight it in after work when I got home today for the first time with some Hornady 7.62X51mm 110 grain TAP LE rounds, since I haven't had time to work up a proper handload for this rifle.
So, it rained about two inches from 5PM to 9PM and I figured I would mosey out into the backyard and check for any song dog action with the FLIR PS-32. It was difficult to see much thermal signature of anything after the rain but I was able to detect some motion across the prairie pond in the pine trees 250 yards out.
Put the ACOG TA02 crosshairs on his shoulder and squeezed the trigger at a good 225 yards out, instant DRT.
To say that I am impressed is a gross understatement.....
