Since people that are interested in LONG RANGE will be interested in the T-75, here is what I learned using it for long range kills.
First off, when you turn in on in Clip-On mode or Stand Alone mode, it comes on in 1X digital magnification, there is no 0.5 WFOV digital magnification like the T-70 has. So, your FOV is limited. My T-70 at 200 yards has an FOV about 150 yards wide, the T-75 at 200 yards has an FOV about 35 yards wide. The T-75 will put you right on top of your target at 200 yards if you can find it in the FOV, which in the woods can be a difficult feat to accomplish after first spotting a heat signature with a handheld thermal scanner with a much larger FOV. Your target really needs to be out about 300 yards before you have an adequate FOV at 1X to be able to pick it up first off prior to targeting. I used one of my Elcan Specter DRs with the T-75 and it REALLY increased my targeting ability since I was able to flip the Elcan to 1.5X or 6X at will. Rarely, except at long ranges over 250 yards, would I start off with the Elcan on 6X because I could not find the target I had spotted with my LS64 or M-18. Once I spotted the target in the T-75 FOV, I could then immediately switch the Elcan to 6X for targeting long range. The T-75 is just too powerful to start off using it at 6X, although turning the digital magnification to 2X and targeting at 12X was a piece of cake, even at digital magnification of 4X and targeting at 24X I still easily made long range shots. However, these long range shots were sniper shots from a suppressed .308 and once the slug wacked a hog and they scattered, it was next to impossible to retarget the ones on the run at that high magnification as they would run out of the FOV. Same thing happened to me numerous times with charging coyotes and it was very frustrating to see the coyote out at 350 yards and then have them charge in and loose them, only to see them again in my LS-64 or M-18 50ft in front of me but unable to find them in the T-75..... So, if you are thinking of investing in a true hardened mil-spec long range thermal instrument like this, only do it if the majority of your shots are over 250 yards or more, it is NOT a short range instrument. Sow at 300 yards in Stand Alone mode 1X, I am seeing this at 6X: Sow at 300 yards in Stand Alone mode 2X, I am seeing this at 12X: Sow at 300 yard in Stand Alone mode 4X, I am seeing this at 24X: Here is the sow after I pulled the trigger @ 300 yards: Here is the video of the sow getting shot with the T-75 from the T-75 video output: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T75/T75%20Sow/T75%20Sow.mp4 |

Quoted:
Was hanging out on a long powerline grade out behind the house tonight when I hear some god awful boar fight going on, it went on strong for about five minutes screaming bloody murder. About three minutes later two large boars and a sow come charging out of the wood full speed in front of me, the two big boars made it into the brush before I could get my rifle targeted but nailed this sow in the ear at 75 yards on full run right before she disappeared in the thick brush, one shot DRT. FLIR puts the hurt on them once again. http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/Sow/Sow%20Ear%20Hole.jpg http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/Sow/FlirOne%20Sow%20UTV.jpg View Quote Glad you got to referee the fight!!! |

There is a long story behind this one, everyone totally LOAF!!!!
He took a 5.56mm handload Barnes 70 gr TSX and 7.62mm 175gr SMK to his ear simultaneously! Had a FLIR T-50, T-70, T-75, and RS64-35mm all one him at once.......and he was DRT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA-uYCFiBZE&feature=youtu.be |

FYI for owners of FLIR T-70/T-75 Government Systems military thermal weapon clip-on scopes;
I contacted Flir Government Systems in Pittsburgh about having the TAU 2.6 microbolometer firmware upgraded to the latest TAU 2.7 firmware with all the new image enhancements and this is what I found out: "The T70/75 Military weapon thermal sights uses firmware that is a modified version of the stock FLIR Personal Vision Systems’ firmware." "FLIR GS does not currently have a released version of the T70/75 firmware or T70/75 software that is compatible with the Tau 2.7, it is probably several months away. This effort is currently underway.." Scott Keitzer Director of Systems Engineering |

BTW, the deal with this TAU 2.7 upgrade is that it is NOT a simple software upgrade patch, it requires the complete rewriting the entire firmware and software from A to Z.
Good news is that this may include numerous improved internal digital 5.56mm and 7.62mm BDC reticules as well.... |

Thanks to to the good folks at FoxPro, my FoxPro Truck Pro is on its way for installation on the UTV.
This should be an outstanding addition to our arsenal of hog and dog killing tools! http://www.gofoxpro.com/site/products/digital-calls/truck-pro-large |

I def need to get a Thermal device to up my street cred, that T50 looks like the one, I just need to sell more drugs to kids to afford it. Even with an Omni 7 tube in my PVS 14 and some decent tubes in my sentinels on really dark nights or in weird moon phases it's tough to see the hogs sometimes, thermal eliminates that.
